A black-and-white photograph of a coffee hour for San Francisco ministers held by the San Francisco Chapter of the National Council of Negro Women at their headquarters at 1914 Fillmore St. Four women are standing with five men (presumably ministers) seated on couches along the right wall. The sign on the wall behind the couches is for "United Nations Week Oct 21-27." The caption below the photograph is typewritten in black ink on white paper and reads, "A COFFEE HOUR FOR LEADING MINISTERS."
