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 is a color archival pigment print from the negative. The photograph depicts a full-length image of two young men posed under scaffolding on the edge of a sidewalk, one on the left standing and one on the right sitting on a metal bar. The young man on the left has his arms crossed at his upper chest while holding a red bag. He is dressed in a white button shirt, white pants, a red military belt, and white low-top Adidas and fat red laces. For accessories he has a black watch on his proper right wrist and a cap in the style of a Kangol Ventair. The young man on the right is half sitting on a metal bar, with his proper right leg extending vertically and his proper left leg on the bar, but his upper body turned to face the camera. His hands are waving openly, similar to a “jazz hands” motion.
