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

A black and white photograph of MC Shan sitting on a white counter top in front of a mirror. The image captures from the counter up, the bottom of Shan's legs out of frame. His body is facing the proper right side of the image and he is looking at the camera, leaning his elbows on his proper right knee, which is bent and raised slightly. He is wearing a black sweatshirt with white text and black pants. The top of the sweatshirt is white with thin black horizontal stripes. A tiled wall and door is visible in the mirror behind him, along with a light or camera flash. On the back of the print is an inscription handwritten by Bill Adler identifying the subject, location, date, and photographer.
