DescriptionThis print is of a young African-American man sitting at a table with his arms folded, he looking out at the viewer. He is wearing a brown, gray and yellow plaid shirt. Underneath the photo are the words; "I describe myself as a very nice and respectful young man to all. I'm an encourager to my friends and family, even to my teachers. Often I find it fun to visit the nursing home to keep the old ones company. I love to help and encourage people".Label TextDawoud Bey American (b. 1953) Jason, 2003, from the Embracing Eatonville Portfolio Pigmented inkjet print Gift of Joyce F. and Robert B.
