A large crowd of mostly men in white clothes fills a hall at a convention. Many stand or sit close together, some with hands folded, looking toward the front. Tall cylindrical hanging banners in yellow, navy and white with diamond and geometric patterns hang from the ceiling. Bookshelves, a framed photograph on the back wall and white chairs are visible at the rear. A tall white tent-like ceiling and red-patterned lattice windows frame the scene. Hanging banners and white attire dominate the visual composition.
