content: A color photograph of Lusia Harris playing basketball for team USA against Czechoslovakia in the 1976 Summer Olympic Games. Harris is pictured mid-jump, with her proper right hand palming the ball and her proper left knee raised high. Her uniform jersey, shorts, and socks are white, with thin navy and red stripes around the neck, arms, and socks. There is a navy and red “USA” and number “7” on the jersey. She is looking down towards her opponent, who stands on the tips of her toes with both arms raised towards the ball and Harris. The opponent is number “7" for Team Czechoslovakia. She wears a blue uniform with wide white and red stripes and has her back turned to the camera. Harris’ teammate, number “14,” stands in the foreground, her back to the camera and holding her hands out in front of her to receive the ball. The players are pictured in the corner of the wooden court floor, with the out of bounds area painted green behind them and the free throw lane painted red to the right of them. Behind the players, a black movable barrier cordons off the court from the spectators, who sit in folding chairs at the same level as the court. A young man in white pants and an off-white shirt kneels just behind the back line, watching the players.
