gathering of people inside a large, brightly lit hall, possibly a church or a community center. There are rows of plastic chairs, some with writing on them, indicating reserved seating. At the front of the room, a man dressed in a long black robe stands behind a podium, speaking to the seated audience. The room is decorated with banners, streamers, and simple window treatments. Musical instruments, including a drum set and congas, are visible to the left. A person is operating a video camera, recording the event. There is a small television mounted high on a pillar. Several ceiling fans are in operation.
