The black, stencil-like silhouette of a man with arms raised is printed against a pale orange background with a white speech bubble overhead. Shown from the chest up, the bearded man wears sunglasses and stands with both fists raised, his chest and arms along the bottom edge of the composition. The all-capital, black text in the speech bubble reads, “DOWN WITH THE WHITENESS.” The paper has a white margin all around. The artist signed and dated the work with graphite in the lower right corner: “Rupert García 1969.” And in the lower left, also in graphite: “ED 105.” Near the signature is a turqoise-colored stamp with a frog, sitting, pointing to our left, and smiling over a vertically striped shield, which reads, "MADE IN USA."
