Description:
A black and white image of people in water.
On Solidarity Day at Resurrection City, a crowd is in the Reflecting Pool with their clothes on. In the foreground on the proper left side there is a woman in a black and white pinstripe collared tank top with matching pants. She is holding sunglasses in her right hand. There is a little boy standing next to her. He is turned to the proper left side and he is wearing a dark shirt with a white sleeve stripe and plaid pants. He is holding a sign with a wooden handle in his right hand. The sign is white with black text in different fonts. It reads [UAW SUPPORTS / JOBS / EDUCATION / HOUSING / MEDICAL CARE / GUARANTEED INCOME / FOR EVERY AMERICAN].
There are more people in the water in the background. There is also a crowd of people on the sidewalks in front of some trees.
