DescriptionA man wearing a suit, shirt, and a tie with little donkeys on it speaks into a microphone. He is surrounded by men, women, and children. A man at the far right wears what appears to be a political campaign button on the lapel of his suit jacket. A woman in the left foreground holds a small girl. A second girl, who stands beside her, holds a soft ice cream cone in a paper cup.
