This is a black and white photograph of Etta Moten Barnett and another woman examining a large map of Africa hanging on the wall. Wearing a long sleeved white blouse with a brooch at the neckline and a grey straight skirt, Etta Moten Barnett stands to the side of the map and points to the country of Liberia with her right arm outstretched. The woman standing next to her wears a light grey dress with double breasted black button up the front and a black belt. She has a large brooch at her left shoulder. She turns her heads slightly to the right towards Etta Moten Barnett and gazes directly at the map on the wall. The photographer’s stamp is on the back.
