content: This black and white photograph shows four women singing at the birthday commemoration for Martin Luther King Jr. inside Ebenezer Baptist Church in 1969. They are dressed in long-sleeved white dresses. One woman is blocked from view with only her arms and part of her head visible. The women are standing behind a lectern which is partially obscured by a large flower arrangement and folding chairs. The photograph was taken from the side and shows the women in profile. There are unidentified male attendees behind the women. The back of the photograph has a manufacturer's mark, photographer's stamp and a handwritten inscription.
