Behind her are several people working in the field. The upper right has a song quote: "I want my body bathed again by southern suns, my soul reclaimed again from southern land./ I want my rest unbroken in the fields of southern earth: freedom to watch the corn wave silver in the sun and mark the splashing of a brook, a pond with ducks and frogs and count the clouds./ I want no mobs to wrench me from my southern rest; no forms to take me in the night and burn my shack and make for me a nightmare full of oil and flame./ I want my careless song to strike no minor key; no fiend to stand between my body's southern song- the fusion of the South, my body's song and me./ from Southern Song, by Margaret Walker." The bottom edge has "In solidarity with the struggle of the Black Nation to free the land" printed in black lettering.
