label: Description
content: A framed photograph of Colin L. Powell with his wife Alma Powell. This photograph (a) captures a candid moment in which Powell is leaning in to kiss Alma’s temple. They are both standing behind a high flat brown bar or tabletop with several striped, blue, yellow, and white paper cups. Alma looks straight at the camera with a small smile. She wears a white V-neck sleeveless top, wristwatch, and gold ring on her proper left hand. General Powell wears a white shirt with skinny black tie and dark blazer. The background is busy but indiscernible. There are no markings on the reverse of the photograph, which is housed inside of a black wooden frame (b) and set behind glass.
