Five people are posing for a group photo in front of black brick wall with black curtains on the right. The person in the front is seated in a wheelchair, and the other four are standing behind him in a horizontal line. To the far left is a white man wearing a muted purple zip-up hoodie, black pants, dark grey sneakers, and black framed glasses. His hands are in his front pockets as he looks at the camera. Next to him is a man with light skin, brown hair, wearing a white knit hat, black glasses, and a blue button up. The central person is seated in a blue-wheeled wheelchair, is light-skinned, and wears a bright yellow sweater over a collared shirt, jeans, and black-framed glasses with a large smile. To the right of the wheelchair is a Black woman with her hair styled into a high bun and wearing black-framed glasses, a zipper jacket with a white and black floral pattern, black pants, white socks and sneakers. To the far right is a white woman with her hair in a low bun, wearing a light purple shirt, high waisted denim jeans, and dark grey sneakers. The floor is dark grey industrial carpet.
