The advertisement depicts a graphic by artist Shepard Fairey, titled "We the People Are Greater Than Fear." The graphic is of a Muslim woman in a hijab, depicted from the shoulders up, against a light blue gradient background. The hijab is made from the American flag with a blue, star spangled field on the proper right side of her head and face, and red and white stripes on the proper left side of her head and face. The stars on the hijab have been filled in with silver glitter, her eyelids highlighted with green glitter, and her lips filled in with red glitter. The proper right side of the woman’s face and hijab are shaded in blues. Above the graphic, printed in black, block text is [WE THE / PEOPLE] framed on either side by two (2) light blue diamonds, and top and bottom by two (2) light blue bands. Below the graphic is a thick light blue band with white block text that reads [ARE GREATER THAN FEAR]. Black text at the top of the advertisement reads [ADVERTISEMENT] in the top left corner and [THE WASHINGTONPOST · Friday, January 20, 2017 / ADVERTISEMENT] in the top right corner. Black text at the bottom of the advertisement reads [WE THE PEOPLE ARE INDIVISIBLE, WE ARE RESILIENT, WE PROTECT EACH OTHER, WE DEFEND DIGNITY, WE ARE GREATER THAN FEAR, / WWW.WETHEPEOPLEARE.ORG | A PROJECT OF THE AMPLIFIER FOUNDATION]. The back of the placard is white with handwritten black ink text and red and gold glitter text that reads [THE / POWer of THE / PEOPLE / is / Stronger than the / PEOPLE In Power].

    Caption
    Caroline “Carrie” Nichols (later Carrie N. Lacy; see 2017.30.13) presented this carte-de-visite album to her friend and fellow teacher Emily Howland on January 1, 1864, at Camp Todd, a freedmen’s camp and school located in Arlington, Virginia. Emily Howland was an abolitionist, educator, philanthropist, and suffragist who founded, financially supported, and taught in numerous schools for African Americans for more than 70 years from 1857 until her death in 1929 at the age of 101.
    Typical of a CDV album during this period, the Howland Album contains photographs of Howland’s family, friends, and colleagues, as well as souvenir images of notable abolitionists and famous figures during the 1860s and 1870s. Based on the photograph dates and later inscriptions, it is clear that Howland added photographs to the album as she collected them throughout the mid- to late 19th century.
    Description
    Black leather photograph album owned by Emily Howland containing photographs of friends, family, and celebrities. The album covers and binding are made from embossed black leather with gold gilt decorations on the covers and spine. Both covers are the same, with a scallop-edged diamond outlined in gold at the center and geometric borders surrounding it, ending in a thin gold gilt geometric border around the edges. Gilt text is stamped on the spine reading "PHOTOGRAPHS". The front and back interior covers have decorative paper with small gold repeating stylized dots on a white ground adhered to them. There are four (4) sheets of paper at the front of the album, followed by twenty-five (25) thicker pages that each feature a window for holding two (2) photographs per page, and one (1) sheet of paper at the back of the album. There is room for fifty (50) photographs, though the album contains only forty-seven (47) photographs plus one (1) loose photograph too large to fit into the windowed pages. Windows 20, 21, and 47 are empty. The windows are rectangular with rounded corners and are surrounded by a gold printed border. The front pages include a page with information about the album publisher and an Index page with two printed columns of numbered lines for identifying the photographs. The Index page is not filled out. There is an inscription written in black ink on the first page that reads "To / Emily Howland / From her friend / Carrie Nichols / Jan 1st, 1864 / Camp Todd / Virginia". All of the interior pages are edged in gilt with a design impressed into the top, right side, and bottom edges of the pages that creates a floral spray when the album is closed. The album fastens on the right side with two (2) metal hinged bars that are attached to the back cover and close over metal pins attached to the front cover. The bars are embellished with a three-dimensional metal design imitating a floral fabric looped through a metal buckle.
