Description
A black-and-white digital image of Jim Letherer leading a long line of marchers on a street in the rain. Letherer is on crutches and wearing a light colored jacket zipped in front. All the marchers are walking on the right side of the road. Directly behind Letherer, two men are shown mid stride. One is wearing a raincoat with the hood up over his hat. The other is wearing a poncho without a hood. On Letherer's right stands a man wearing a Star patterned vest and white helmet. Marchers can be seen walking into the distance. Trees line the edge of both sides of the road.
