content: A black-and-white photograph taken from behind Martin Luther King, Jr. as he is speaking to a church full of people. King, with his back to the camera, takes up the left third of the image while the remaining portion of the image is a view of the individuals sitting in the church pews. There are large windows in the church and two ceiling fans. It appears that the door to the church is open and sunlight is visible in both the windows and doors. The print is signed [Charles Moore] on the back in pencil.
