A square black-and-white etching depicts a dense, shouting crowd of people with light skin tones on our left; one figure wears a pointed hood. On our right, children with dark skin tones walk past a "SCHOOL CROSSING" sign, protected by a tall man with a raised hand. Below them, a man walks a dog. Intricate cross-hatching defines the figures, creating a scene of tension between the two groups.
