Milton "Buddy" Coleman stands just left-of-center. He looks to the camera as he holds a pair of scissors out in front of him. To the right of him, Councilman Baker stands and looks down towards Buddy. To the right of Councilman Baker, a police officer stands. He too looks towards Buddy. In front of them, a floral rope stretches across the image. Buddy appears to be ready to cut the rope. A large crowd stands behind them and faces towards camera. The Sixth Street Viaduct's beams are visible in the background, above the crowd.
