This color transparency depicts the long side of an A frame shelter with a man standing in front of the entrance. The man standing sideways to the viewer, wears a green tee shirt and grey pants. He has his head turned away from the viewer. On the ground by his feet is a television set. By the entrance to the A frame is a low folding table with a large push broom on the ground next to it. There is handwritten text on several side panels of the A frame that reads “WAIT? /NEVER/ An unjust/ law is no law/ at all/ St. Augustine." On the next panel is text that reads " The Dream is not/ over/ We [illegible]."
