Description
A large group of people gathered in a church with brick walls, tall windows and a vaulted ceiling, specifically, the Wesley United Methodist Church, Niagara Falls, New York. At the center, a man stands with one hand on his hip and the other lowered, facing forward with a serious expression. Surrounding him, several people are seated or standing, some raising their hands. The room is dimly lit, with light coming from hanging cylindrical fixtures and the windows. The audience appears to be participating in a discussion or vote.
