A digital image of journalist Charles E. Cobb and Louisiana State University student Kiersten Simon at Cobb’s home in Jacksonville, Florida. Simon interviewed Cobb for the Social Justice Conversations Oral History Project. The image captures both being side-by-side, with Cobb sitting in a horseshoe-shaped chair. Simon, on the left, wears a black shirt and black framed glasses. Her proper left arm is around Cobb’s shoulders. Cobb rests both arms on the chair’s arms. He wears a bronze-and-black, abstract patterned shirt and glasses. Both smile directly into the camera. In the background, a shelf is visible holding several picture frames.
