content: This black-and-white photograph depicts a man holding a painting of Elijah Muhammed and another individual, possibly a key figure in the Nation of Islam. In the painting, Elijah Muhammed is wearing a dark suit and dark taqiyah decorated with crescent moon and stars. The other figure is wearing a white suit and taqiyah, also decorated with crescent moon and stars. There is a large crescent moon with starburst painted behind them, and their hands are raised in prayer position with palms open upward. The man holding this painting is middle aged, in a white fedora, white shirt with collar turned up, and Malcom X sweatshirt. He holds the painting against his right shoulder, and gazes around the frame to the viewer's left.
