Color photograph of the exhibition sign. The top half of the sign is a photo of two women at a march, holding signs that read "we are women / we are strong / women working together to be safe". Beside them are photos of gay couples kissing and holding each other at a rally. There is a yellow and orange filter on these photos. The bottom half of the sign is a photo of a man at a rally holding up his fist in the air. The text across the sign reads "Rising Up / 100 years of Student Activism for Justice and Civil Rights at the University of Maryland"
