A black and white digital image of people in the Reflecting Pool on Solidarity Day at Resurrection City. Men, women, and children are wading in the Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

People in the crowd are holding signs and banners with slogans such as [AMERICA! / Why Not / NOW?], [(?) / (?) / end / hunger / in / America], and even a sign that was ripped off of a pole which reads [NO / SWIMMING / OR / WADING / U.S. PARKS SERVICE]. Some of the people are also wearing pinback buttons on their shirts.
