Description
This black-and-white photograph depicts a group of men standing around and on the base of the Statue of Peace. The group is made up of a diverse age range. Most men in the group wear jackets and baseball caps; one man in front wears a suit and bowtie. Many are holding their fists in the air. A black banner with white lettering that reads "PUBLIC / ENEMY" is draped over the front of the statue. Below the lettering is a white square within which is the silhouette of a man framed in the crosshairs of a gun.
