Rushing River, William Lester, lithograph
This black and white photograph represents an alley surrounded by brick buildings. The building that is seen at the end of the alley has an arched entrance. Emerging from the alley is a middle-aged white woman, carrying something in her left arm, with a full basket hanging from the same arm. A bollard stands in the middle of the alley entrance, and to the right of the bollard, in the lower right corner of the image, is another figure.
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.
