The image is a sepia-toned photograph of a group of men standing together outdoors. They are arranged in a semi-grouped formation on the steps of a building. The man at the center, likely Booker T. Washington, has short hair and is clean-shaven. He wears a three-piece suit and holds a small book or notebook. Other men of varying ages surround him, wearing dark suits with waistcoats and ties. Some individuals are holding hats. The background shows a brick building partially covered by climbing ivy.
