- Description
- A color photograph of Roxanne Shante posed with two people in Shante jackets. Shante, wearing a jean jacket over a black bra top and jeans, stands in front of a grey backdrop with her elbows resting on the shoulders of two individuals wearing jackets with Shante's image on the back. The two are facing away from the camera, crouching down and bent forward so their heads are barely visible. On the back of the photograph is the title and copyright.
