Brothers Beware

Object Details

Description
This black-and-white photograph depicts two men speaking together. Standing at three-quarter angles to each other, the young man on the left holds a large sign on a tall pole and a smaller sign around his neck. The large sign reads "Brothers Beware African World Revolution Faces These...Enemies of the African Race." The smaller sign reads "What is One Million Black Men Started World Revolution." The young man, wearing an unzipped sweatshirt and an African mask necklace, faces the viewer smiling. He has a thin beard and mustache. The figure on the right is an older man, wearing a dark suit, light fedora, glasses and a mustache. He looks away from the viewer, laughing.
