A digital image of activist and author Rodney Hurst with Temple University student James Gray III at Hurst’s son’s house in Jacksonville, Florida. Gray interviewed Hurst for the Social Justice Conversations Oral History Project. The image captures the two men sitting side-by-side. Gray, on the left, wears a salmon shirt and khaki pants. His proper left elbow is propped on the backing of the chair Hurst sits on. Hurst, on the right, sits in a chair and smiles directly into the camera. He wears a black, long-sleeved shirt with a band collar and black framed glasses. Around his neck is a necklace with black, green, and red beads and a large, circular pendant with the African continent. In the background is a couch and abstract paintings on the wall.
