- Description
- Digital copy of a funeral program for Fannie Ezelle Hill. The funeral program consists of color ink printed text and images on the front and back cover and black ink printed on the interior of a single sheet of white paper, folded once to produce four pages. The first page, or cover, has a full-page, watermarked image of Hill with text along the right side of the page titled "HOMEGOING CELEBRATION" with Hill's life dates, a Bible verse from Proverbs 30:10;31, and information about the service. The service took place at Vernon A.M.E. Church and was officiated the Reverend Michelle K.T. Moulden.
- The left-side interior page has an obituary in three columns of text. Below the obituary are six black and white photos that depict Hill at various times in her life, including a photo with Zeta Phi Beta and a photo with Jimmy Carter. The right-side interior page lists the "Order of Service."
- The last page, or back cover, lists the pallbearers and flower bearers, an "Acknowledgements & Words of Appreciation with Thanks" from the family, information about the internment and arrangements, and four color photos.
- A second, black and white copy of the funeral program is also included.
- There are also two pages of handwritten notes, front and back, for the "Words of Tribute" that Eddie Faye Gates gave during the ceremony. These notes detail Hill's activism and involvement in the Tulsa community.
