Source catalog description
This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.
This black-and-white photograph depicts a man and his two young sons; he carries the younger one on his shoulders while holding the older one in front of him, arms around his shoulders. They stand turned slightly away from the viewer. All three wear baseball caps; the oldest son has turned his backwards. They and the surrounding men gaze intently to the right. In the background, a man is visible sitting in the upper branches of a tree.
