content: A silver gelatin print depicting a black-and-white image of a plywood panel mural in Resurrection City. The mural displays slogans, quotes, and art as painted by activists in Resurrection City. The mural is comprised of twelve painted plywood panels installed together, four panels horizontally across the top and eight panels installed vertically on the bottom, to form a thirty-two foot long wall. The wall appears to be part of a structure, with an overhanging roof at the top. The wall and structure is pictured center frame, with dirt and a wooden walkway in the foreground and tent-like structures and trees in the background. Painted text at the top of the mural reads [Hunger's Wall: Tell It Like It Is]. Other prominent slogans include [CUBA LIBRE], [LATINOS UNIDOS PARA SIEMPRE], [Blackness for Blacks!!!], [CHICANO POWER], and [Sisters of Watts for Human Dignity]. The print is signed on the back in graphite [Jill Freedman].
