Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

An archival pigment print photograph of collaged images. In the foreground of the image is a black-and-white printed paisley motif with a center cut out through which the viewer peers at a black-and-white photographic print of a woman standing with a stack of books held in the crook of her arm. The photograph of the woman has been cut out and arranged to stand atop an image of a white picket fence, her shadow falling across a piece of sheet music for "Glory to His Name." In the background is a black-and-white image of a cabin. The print is mounted on black sintra pvc board with back frame and a label with the artist, title, date, medium, and dimensions.
