A digital image of social justice activist and civil rights attorney Fania Davis with National Museum of African American History and Culture’s scholar activists, Natalie Riddick and Kailyn Bailey, at the office of Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth, a non-profit organization Davis helped establish. Bailey and Riddick were both interviewers for the Social Justice Conversations Oral History Project, with Bailey interviewing Muse. The image captures Bailey, Davis, and Riddick sittings side-by-side, with Bailey and Riddick crouching down. Bailey, on the left, wears a sky color, long-sleeve shirt with a purple and orange paisley patterned scarf. Davis, in the middle, wears a black, poncho-like garment with line designs, a brown/green scarf, and large, leaf-shaped silver earrings with black pants. She wears a large cuff on each wrist. Riddick, on the right, wears a white, flowery top with multi-colored headband.
