Captured from a view looking out from the steps, a blue and yellow NAACP cap is slightly out of focus in the near foreground. Two other individuals can be seen wearing the same cap in bottom right-hand corner of the image. Two American flags are mounted on poles rise from the crowd in the mid-foreground. The print is signed by the photographer at the lower left corner and labeled [5 of 9]. A caption by the photographer is printed along the bottom margin.
