This Is Love

Old color photograph of a young Black woman (Virginia Ali) standing at the front grill of Ben's Chili Bowl. She's holding a bun in one hand, and a hot dog in tongs in the other. There are hot dogs lined up cooking on the grill in front of her, and a sign behind her that reads "Hot Dog." She's wearing a white shirt and earrings and her hair is pulled back. She's looking at the camera and smiling.
