Description:
This image depicts Hosea Williams and Lou Rawls on a small wooden outdoor stage in Resurrection City with a group of other individuals. Hosea Williams stands in front of the small crowd on stage. Wearing a dark jumpsuit, he holds a microphone in his left hand and gestures with his right. Taken from below, this angle gives him a monumental aspect. Behind him is a group of people, including Lou Rawls, wearing a dark patterned short sleeve shirt, dark pants, a large pendant on a chain, and sunglasses. The surrounding people include one woman, in a light colored sweater and pants. Next to her is a man in a bright pattered shirt, light pants, and a light colored hat. On Rawls' other side are two men in dark clothes, one in front wearing a jacket, one in the rear wearing a hat. Visible on the extreme right are three other figures, the man in front dressed in black with a large pendant on a chain. One man behind him is dressed in dark colors, with a hat; the other wears a white tee-shirt and dark pants. Crowds of people and trees can be seen in the background.
