Description
A crowd of protestors, including adults and children, walks along a sidewalk outside a building with columns. Many hold handmade signs with messages that can't be completely seen. One sign says "ANYONE ON DEATH ROW WANT TO TRADE HOMES?" The group is bundled in fall clothing, and the scene is set in a tree-lined area near what appears to be a civic building or courthouse. A stone statue is visible in the right foreground.
