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.
A black-and-white photograph of Bob Moses, Diane Nash, and Reverend James Lawson, by Platon. The three subjects are depicted from the knees up, facing the viewer. The photograph’s perspective is from an angle that looks up at the three from about waist level. Nash stands at the center with Moses and Lawson on either side of her. Her arms are crossed over her waist, and she is holding hands with both men, who have their arms crossed over their chests. Nash’s head is tilted slightly towards her proper right shoulder and she is looking up and to the right with a slight smile on her face. She is wearing a white turtleneck and a black pantsuit. She is also wearing an abstract metal pin on her proper right blazer lapel and a round link, opera length, metal necklace. Moses stands on the far left.
