This is a black and white photograph of a young girl with blond hair, who has an American Flag draped around her body. She is holding the hand of a man in a dark suit who is partially visible at right. The legs of several other people are visible in the background of the image and the group, including the girl, is walking together toward the right in the composition.

Micaëla Gallery printout:"DAUGHTER OF THE NEW AMERICAN REVOLUTION, SPRING MOBILIZATION / San Francisco 1967 / I was photographing the peace march when I spotted a man walking along holding hands with his twin daughters wrapped in American flags. An amazing sight, the little girls had very serious expressions on their faces. I could not get a photograph of both girls because of the huge moving crowd. I was able to get one flag girl with all her majesty and play of lights and darks."
