- This black-and-white photograph depicts two men holding a long white banner. Written in black text it reads "AFRIKAN HOLOCAUST / 400 YRS AND STILL / IN PROGRESS." The word STILL is underlined. There is also a hand drawn picture of the African continent bleeding. The figure on the left wears a beret, dark shirt, sunglasses and combat boots. He carries a small flag in his left hand and a large white flag with writing in his right. He looks directly at the viewer. The other figure wears a baseball cap and sweatshirt, and looks to his left. The strap of a bag is visible over his left shoulder.
