A black-and-white photograph of Reverend Jesse Jackson, by Platon. The close-up of Jackson depicts him from the neck up, staring directly at the viewer.

He is wearing a dark suit jacket with thin pinstripes over a medium tone dress shirt, and a silk patterned tie. The proper right side of face, neck, and shoulder is heavily shadowed. The background of the photograph is black. The photograph has a thick white border. The edition number, [5/12], is printed in the bottom left corner. The photographer’s signature and date, [Platon 19], is handwritten in the bottom right corner. Inside the border, at the bottom center, is the photographer’s embossed mark: [PLATON ? / EDITIONED ? / PRINT ?[encircled between two bands of embossed dots]]. The back of the photograph is plain and white.
