Three columns of printed negative strips. All twelve photos are various images of men cleaning a street intersection with brooms and firehoses from a firetruck in preparation for Inaugural Ceremonies for the Liberian President. Several men are holding hoses and spraying the ground. Other men are holding the hoses to stabilize them. Additional men are using brooms and rakes to clear debris. In one photo, a man is leaning against the valve controls for the firetruck. There are several multi-story buildings on all corners of the intersection. Liberian flags are hanging from the telephone pole on the corner.
