The image shows an elderly African-American man in a striped shirt. He appears to be in his late 60s or early 70s, with short black hair and a serious expression on his face. A person's hand is visible on the left side of the image, holding a small piece of paper and applying it to the man's neck. In the background, there are other people, one of whom is holding a camera, suggesting that the photo was taken in a public space.
