Source catalog description
This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.
Ministers and members of the church choir stand adjacent to the church building. Six women and two men wear white robes over their clothing, while the remaining four men wear dark suits. The individuals in white are arguably choir members. Two of the men in dark suits hold large bibles. Men and women in the background observe and inevitably take part in the photograph as they watch Anderson from open doors and windows.
