Screenprint of what appears to be a family walking in front of a group of construction workers building a wall. The figures all have dark-brown skin except for one construction worker with white skin. In the family group, a man and a woman hold hands with each other and two small children. The woman and the girl wear yellow dresses and red hats; the boy wears a blue shirt; the man wears a suit and a yellow hat. The workers in the background wear blue.
