content: This image depicts a woman and two young children standing at the entrance of a yellow tent at Resurrection City during the Poor People's Campaign. One yellow tent flap is folded back allowing the woman to peek though the opening. She wears a brown dress and black flat shoes. At her side are two small children, the taller child in a striped red white and blue shirt and blue pants. The child leans against the woman’s left side. On his other side is a much smaller child wearing an off-white onesie. The woman has her left arm around both children with her left hand resting on the smallest child's head. Behind them inside the tent another child is visible.
