A black-and-white photograph, Untitled (Original AJASS Members l to r: Robert Gumbs, Frank Adu, Elombe Brath (seated), Kwame Brathwaite, Ernest Baxter & Chris Hall), by Kwame Brathwaite. The men are standing in a semicircle around Brath, who is seated at a drafting table at the center of the group. He is seated in three quarters pose, with his face turned towards the viewer, and has a serious expression on his face. With his proper left hand, he is lifting the bottom of a booklet sitting on the surface of the drafting table. Also on the drafting table is a piece of paper featuring Patrice Lumumba’s portrait. Brath’s proper right hand is resting in his lap. He is wearing a black suit, white dress shirt, and a light tone tie. On the far left is Gumbs, standing in three-quarters pose, facing the right edge of the image. He is smiling and looking at the viewer.
