    Description
    A black and white digital image of a teach-in.
    The instructor, believed to be Hosea Lorenzo Williams, is in the center of the image. He has dark hair and a beard with a mustache. His head is tilted back slightly. His arms are raised next to his head with his elbows bent, and he is wearing either a bracelet or a watch on his proper left arm. He is wearing a short sleeve jumpsuit with a collar, a belt, and a white shirt underneath. There is a breast pocket on the proper left side with an unreadable label on it. There is a white notepad with two white pens inside of the pocket. Williams is also wearing a chain with an ankh on it.
    There are men, women, and children in the background and also sitting in front of him. They appear to be inside a large tent with poles holding it up. There is a tall chalkboard in the background with writing on it. The top read's [T(?)Y'S Lesson:]. The first word is probably "TODAY'S" and the word "Lesson" is underlined. There are drawings below along with more writing.

    Basketball player William "Bill" Russell remembers his childhood in Louisiana and Oakland, California, in the 1940s. After winning two Final Fours with the University of San Francisco, he won an Olympic gold medal and an NBA championship playing for the Boston Celtics, one of thirteen Russell would win, including eight in a row. Russell had a difficult relationship with the sports media in Boston, but a better one with his Celtics teammates. He defends the organization as progressive on racial matters (as opposed to the Red Sox) and describes a post-retirement reconciliation with Boston that resulted in considerable Red Sox support for his mentoring organization and a statue of him, erected in 2013.
