Description: Press photo of a group of white people sitting inside a Church of God in Christ sanctuary (location unknown); 1943.
Caption with the photograph: WHITE FOLLOWERS AND SPECTATORS. The white people setting [sic] in the front row of this group from all appearances are overwhelmed with the religion of the colored men. They, too, join in the chants, raise their hands and shout. Note two women sitting without shoes on. In the balcony a section is reserved for the white people, but sometimes their emotions become so loose that they go down on the main floor and dance with the negros. Its good business to have the white spectators---they always drop not less than a quarter in the collection plate.
