Anderson, Pokey - Description:
- Group portrait of seven adults (four standing in the middle row, two seated in front, and one standing behind), each wih an expression between bemused and pleased, all with hands on each other's shoulders. Most are light skinned, there seem to be three men and four women, and the four at the outermost corners of the image wear glasses. Powell, a Black woman in a knit pullover over a pointed-collar shirt is at the front right. Anderson, the only person not looking at the camera, is immediately behind her.
- Notes:
- Gay rights activists from the 20th century.
