Children

A group of individuals participates in a demonstration on a sidewalk. Visible protest signs include phrases like “City fathers sit idle as usual” and “YOU GIVE AID TO Foreign Countries, Why NOT US.” A child in the foreground, wearing a red hat, carries a sign made from cardboard. Other participants and signs are visible in the background, with some people standing and others walking. The setting appears to be in a residential or civic area with trees and a few cars nearby.
