A black-and-white photograph of Rev. Dr. Jesse King speaking into a microphone. He is wearing a black robe with two crosses embroidered on the breast and holding a microphone in his left hand. He is standing behind a podium and leaning forward. A piece of white colored fabric on the podium says “Rest In Peace.” Men and women stand behind him, some of which are smiling.
