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.

A black and white photograph of Chuckie Dee with Kid Creole. The two are pictured sitting against a railing under a striped awning. Chuck D is on the left side of the image, wearing a satin bomber jacket with striped ribbing at the collar and jeans. He is looking at the camera and smiling slightly while making a "sign of the horns" hand gesture with both hands by holding his two middle fingers down with his thumbs and extending his pointer and pinky fingers. Kid Creole is on the right side, wearing a leather jacket, dark colored jeans, and leather gloves. He is looking at the camera and smiling, his proper left hand on his hip and the other resting on his proper right thigh. Both men are sitting against an iron railing, and the underside of a striped awning is visible behind and above them.
