The first impression I get from looking at this picture is the world and it's future being passes from a pair of older, more experienced hands to younger, naive hands. I think the fact that the older hands are also black reinforces the experienced and accomplished feeling. Despite discrimination and struggle, African-Americans have fought and won battles of freedom and justice. This picture is insinuating the older generation is trusting the younger generation to uphold freedom and justice as they carry forth the future of the world. The colorful objects on top of a black background illuminate the hands and the earth. The lack of text also leaves the meaning of the image up to interpretation.
