Two Women at a Parade

Two older black women rest on either side of a police barricade. The woman on the left looks at the camera, one hand on her cane. The other holds her bag. She wears a fur coat and striped dress. The woman on the right behind the barricade wears a hat with a flower and a collared dress and looks to her right.
