Black and white drawing of a very large crowd in a city square. The square has trees, a large statue of a man on horseback on a pedestal, and several American flags. The square is surrounded by large buildings. In the foreground on the right side, a woman wearing a veil, dark clothing with a cape, and a hat stands on a balcony or porch holding a large American flag. The sky is cloudy. Many people are on the ground, running, standing and sitting. A horse drawn streetcar is on tracks in the middle of the square. Several large banners are being held up on the left side. The banners read "ONE FLAG, ONE COUNTRY, ONE DESTINY."
