A man’s face is visible in profile just behind Dr. King. He wears a brown hat. The back of three people’s heads are visible in the foreground of the image. One person is wearing a light-colored hat. The print is signed by the photographer at the lower left corner and labeled [8 of 9]. A caption by the photographer is printed along the bottom margin.
