The Young Lord watching over wears a light-colored shirt under a dark-colored jacket with dark pants and a belt. The jacket has two buttons one his upper left chest, one with Huey P. Newton’s face and the other with text reading [FREE / HUEY]. The room has three large windows. Behind the seated children, to the far left is the partial view of the cupboards and countertop. To the right is a refrigerator. On the right side wall, between two windows, are three posters placed vertically.
