The image shows approximately 23 people in front of a church. The group is arranged in three rows with some sitting on a step and others standing behind. The men in the front row wear suits with ties or bow ties, and the women wear long dresses and large, ornate hats. The children in the group are not as visible. All individuals appear to be African American. The church is made of wood with a pointed roof, a bell tower, pointed arched windows with intricate designs, and open entrance doors. There are leafy trees on either side of the church and the group, with some sky visible above.
