    The instructor, believed to be Hosea Lorenzo Williams, is in the center of the image. He has dark hair and a beard with a mustache. His head is tilted back slightly.

There is a white notepad with two white pens inside of the pocket. Williams is also wearing a chain with an ankh on it.
    There are men, women, and children in the background and also sitting in front of him. They appear to be inside a large tent with poles holding it up. There is a tall chalkboard in the background with writing on it. The top read's [T(?)Y'S Lesson:]. The first word is probably "TODAY'S" and the word "Lesson" is underlined. There are drawings below along with more writing.
