This image is created with black ink on paper. In it a woman stands in front of a fence, tending a pig. Behind the fence is a house with a porch and a tree with no leaves. The fence turns a corner, and on the street beyond the fence a man and a young child walk. Additional houses can be seen in the distance.

This black and white photograph represents the facade of a large brick building (Birmingham's Sixteenth Street Baptist Church) with two towers and a large street-facing staircase. The image is taken from across a street corner. The staircase of the building is covered in a crowd of African American people, and on the surrounding streets there are a number of white police offiers and police vehicles, including one that dominates the lower edge of the image. A tree stands in front of part of the building's facade and a street light floats in the upper right corner of the image.
