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 featuring a black-and-white photograph of the front of a 1940s automobile, with a house and trees behind, as the background. The shape of a woman, with her hand leaning on the hood of the car, has been superimposed on the background image. The top half of the woman's figure is an image of a torn page of sheet music for "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot". The bottom half features a black-and-white photograph of two girls, lounging in seated positions on the grass by a sidewalk. The print is mounted on black sintra pvc board with back frame and a label with the artist, title, date, medium, and dimensions.
