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. At center is the cut-out black-and-white photographic image of a woman and a girl standing next to each other, the woman's arm draped casually over the other's shoulder. Both wear light colored dresses. They stand against other images collaged to form the shape of a house, with a black-and-white print forming the bottom and right edge and a color image of a tree silhouetted against a blue and pink sky. The collaged house is set in front of a curved piece of sheet music for the song "Go Down Moses (Let my people go!)." The print is mounted on black sintra pvc board with back frame and a label with the artist, title, date, medium, and dimensions.
