Scope and Content Note The series includes loose photographs not arranged by the Vivians with other materials.

These images consist of images of the SCLC staff as well as other civil rights leaders such as Ralph Abernathy, Joseph and Evelyn Lowery, Martin Luther and Coretta Scott King, and Jesse Jackson. There are also images of the 20th anniversary of the March on Washington, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Drum Major of Justice Award dinners, and Resurrection City.

Arrangement Note Arranged in alphabetical order.

Processing Note Images with no other identification are filed by the photographer's name when available. Elaine Tomlin's images are arranged with other photographs of SCLC members and activities as she was the official photographer for the organization.
