The photograph shows two people in close proximity to each other: a white woman is handing a small object—presumably a button or a piece of paper—to a Black person. In the background, a smiling Black woman is visible; additional people suggest a lively, public setting. The scene can be attributed to the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963, in which Black and white citizens came together to advocate for civil rights and economic equality. The intimate, personal moment in the foreground is representative of the racially mixed participation that the documentary film explicitly highlights as a characteristic of the march. In 1963, buttons were a widespread means of making affiliation with the civil rights movement visible.
