A black and white photograph of Dick Gregory with students at Adelphi University. Gregory is pictured in the center of the image, sitting in a chair amongst a group of students in a classroom. He wears a suit and is sitting sideways in the chair, turned to face a young woman standing behind the chair. His proper right elbow is resting on the back of the chair, his hand held up, fingers slightly splayed. His other hand rests between his knees. The young woman faces Gregory, her proper left hand resting on the back of the chair next to him, a bundle of papers held against her chest with proper left arm. Her face is partially obscured by her hair. A group of other students surround the two. A young man sits in the same row as Gregory, one chair away, turned to face Gregory and the camera.
