    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.

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].
