A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts Robert F. Kennedy, a man with a light skin tone, standing at a wooden podium on our right. Wearing a suit, he looks down toward our left. Ethel Kennedy sits there, gazing up at him. Three children and several men with light skin tones, microphones, and an American flag surround the couple. In the background, faint patterns texture a light, marbled stone wall.
