content: A black-and-white digital image of Reverend C. T. Vivian walking toward the pulpit while the audience claps, including Martin Luther King, Jr., Reverend Ralph Abernathy, and Rosa Parks on the stage. Vivian is featured on the left of the image, mid-stride, as he places his papers on the lectern. He is wearing a dark suit. Parks sits on a folding chair behind Vivian, wearing a light colored skirt suit with a matching pillbox hat. Her legs are crossed with her handbag laying in her lap. King stands to the right of the pulpit, clapping and looking toward Vivian. He is wearing a light colored suit and tie with a badge on his jacket. Abernathy can be seen through the microphones on the lectern, smiling toward Vivian. Men and women can be seen seated in the pews behind Parks and the balcony above the stage. The large organ can be seen the background on the left of the image.
