A vertically oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a crowd behind a wooden barrier. In the foreground, two girls with dark skin tones sit on the ground in white dresses, one raising a hand. Above them, a horizontal beam is stenciled with the words "DO NOT CROSS." Behind the barrier, a group of men with light and dark skin tones stands, many in suits and hats, looking upward toward our left.
