Drawing of Henry Street. In the center on the road is a yellow car. There is a person in the driver's seat. A man stands next to the car, leaning onto it on the driver's side. Buildings line both sides of the road. On the left there is a building with a sign reading "Pepsi Cola, Nicks Cafe". There is a person with their hand on the doorknob who is waving at another figure down the road. A sign reading "Hour Parking" is on the sidewalk, next to the yellow car. On the right side of the street are more buildings with signs. The sign closest to the foreground reads "Palace Hotel", next to it is "Hunter Cafe", and even farther back is a larger building with "Dumas Hotel". A bridge can be seen in the background as well as more, taller buildings. Signed by artist.

"10" is written on the back top right corner. Story in Gainsboro Road and Beyond, p. 15. Displayed in the Harrison Museum of African American Culture Exhibit 2023-2024.
