- This imaged depicts musician Dizzy Gillespie, outside, seated on the edge of a platform in a crowd of people at Resurrection City. Gillespie is sitting slightly sideways to the camera, facing to the viewer's right, among other sitting and standing individuals. Wearing a dark sweatshirt and dark pants, a button pin and thick rimmed glasses, he looks upwards, a cigarette between his lips. In the foreground is a young woman in a white sweater with a white scarf tied around her hair. She carries a purse over her left shoulder and holds an object against her chest with her bent left arm. She stands sideways to the viewer, looking to the viewer's left. In the background is a crowd of people standing in front of a group of trees.

- Description
- This image depicts a group of people gathered around a bonfire in Resurrection City on the National Mall. Two people sit on a variety of chairs around a bonfire in a barrel. Two individuals sit with their backs to the viewer, one man in a dark suit and hat, the other in a light colored shirt and pants. A third person stands leaning against the back of a chair. Several other individuals walk past in the dark. An overflowing trash can sits to the right of the bonfire. The bonfire is surrounded by rows of tents and temporary structures. Behind them are the silhouettes of trees. The illuminated Washington Monument can be seen in the background.
