    Description
    A black-and-white digital photograph by Devin Allen of a group of unidentified men and an unidentified child protesting in Baltimore, Maryland. A child wearing a short-sleeved striped polo shirt stands in the left foreground holding a sign with printed text reading "WE ARE / ALL / TRAYVON / MARTIN! / Justice-4-Trayvon.org / Baltimore & Maryland LOC / Call: 443-469-7265". A photograph of Martin is printed in the upper right corner of the sign. A man standing at the right side of the frame wears a light-colored t-shirt and a kufi, and speaks into a corded microphone. A man behind him wears a black t-shirt with an American flag and the text "BLACK LIVES / MATTER" printed on it. He holds one side of a large banner that is behind the man speaking and partially out of frame. Other protesters out of focus in the background hold signs for the People's Power Assembly with the organization's phone number.

    Description
    A letter written by John Brown and Frederick Douglass from Rochester, New York, on January 30, 1858, to Brown's wife and children. The letter is handwritten in black ink on the front and back sides of a single sheet of paper. The letter is first written by Brown, who does not sign his portion beyond "Your Affectionate Husband and Father." Brown writes of missing his wife and children very much, but of not being able to visit them. He also asks his daughter Ruth about her husband, Henry Thompson, becoming involved in Brown's "school," coded language for Brown's militant abolitionist dealings. He further speaks of recruiting his sons for his work and requests that the family write to him under the name "N. Hawkins: Care of Fred'k Douglas [sic] Esq'r Rochester N[.] Y." Douglass writes on the lower half of the verso page with his words oriented three different directions to fit the page. He speaks of his friendship with the Brown family and invites any of them to his home, where John Brown is staying, signing as "Fred. Douglass."
