Self-taught American photographer Gordon Parks captured the image, which shows a man holding a Muhammad Speaks copy. A group of Elijah Muhammad's ministers published Muhammad Speaks, a renowned newspaper of the Nation of Islam, between 1960 and 1975. The headline of the copy in the photograph reads, "OUR FREEDOM CAN'T WAIT!"

Gordon Parks captured the photograph in 1963, which was a period of the culmination of civil rights activism that led to the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibited discrimination based on race, sex, religion, or national origin. The act also ensured equal access to public spaces and employment, mandated school desegregation, and protected voting rights.
