The image shows a scared
family, looking at an approaching storm. Lightning can be seen in the
background, and the storm appears to be worsening as darkness
approaches. A man can be seen comforting his wife, and an older woman
can be seen on her knees crying. In the background, a black family
appears to be caring for a sick person. Further in the background,
more Black people can be seen watching the approaching storm. |
