This photographic slide depicts three individuals on the National Mall. A man in blue denim overalls, denim coat and a brown straw hat stands with his arm around a woman in a pattered blouse and khaki coat. The woman appears to be speaking. Standing slightly behind her on her other side is a man in a white button shirt, patterned tie, dark and trench coat. Behind them is a large group of people standing between rows of A frame shelters. The Washington Monument is visible in the distance. The slide mount has text on the reverse that reads "processed by/ rogers color lab corp. / new york."
