content: A black-and-white archival print of Angela Davis, her lawyer Howard Moore, and her sister Fania Davis seated in front of over a dozen microphones at a press conference following Angela Davis's release on bail. Standing behind the Davises is Franklin Alexander. Howard Moore and Fania Davis clap as Angela Davis smiles. A crowd behind them claps and holds fists in the air. A wall in the background has a poster of Malcolm X delivering remarks and a banner that reads [the demand to free all political prisoners / must burst out of a movement encompas- / sing the broad masses of people! ANGELA DAVIS]. On back at top left in pencil is [1972 - San Jose]; at center is [Stephen Shames / 2/10].
