The image displays a street view drawing from a slightly elevated perspective, capturing a scene from Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA, marked with the year 1921. The horizon is high in the image, emphasizing a row of brick buildings extending to the right. These buildings have two to three stories, featuring large windows and awnings over the street. A telephone pole appears on the left side of the image. The artistic style uses fine brushstrokes and precise lines to define the architecture's details and textures. The color palette is predominantly monochromatic, with shades of gray and hints of sepia, complemented by a pale, sky-blue wash in the background.

The image displays various shapes and lines with overlaid bodies in grayscale contorting in different poses against a sepia-toned background. The limbs and torsos form twisting, looping shapes, and interact with a historical scene depicted in the background. The figures in the background wear clothing from a bygone era and seem to be engaged in some activity. The juxtaposition of contemporary abstract human forms with the traditional scene creates a surreal blend.
