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.

This is the 28th issue of BLK Magazine published March 1991. The front cover, printed with a lime tint, features a black and white image of Mitchell El-Mahdy. El-Mahdy is pictured sitting at a desk full of documents and a printing calculator. He is dressed in a white, long-sleeve button up with the cuffs rolled to the elbows while wearing a dark colored tie. El-Mahdy’s right arm is raised, holding the paper of the calculator. His left hand, with a watch on the wrist, is under his chin as he pensively looks at the numbers. A calendar page with the date [APRIL 15] slightly obscures the bottom of the letter ‘K’ in the [BLK] text box. At the top and centered off to the left, [BLK] is printed in bold, white, uppercase letters within a lime rectangular box.
