The large sign reads "Brothers Beware African World Revolution Faces These...Enemies of the African Race." The smaller sign reads "What is One Million Black Men Started World Revolution." The young man, wearing an unzipped sweatshirt and an African mask necklace, faces the viewer smiling. He has a thin beard and mustache.
