content: This black-and-white photograph depicts men standing in the crowd of the Million Man March. The three men in the foreground look past the viewer with stern expressions. Two wear jackets and one wears a white sweatshirt decorated with faces of African American community leaders and the words "Million Man March." The figure to his left wears headphones around his neck and carries a pennant on a stick that reads "DAY OF ATONEMENT." The crowd recedes into a background of trees.
