An advertisement card for the Tuskegee Four female gospel singers group. A black-and-white photograph of the four (4) women is printed at center. They were long-sleeve white blouses under dark colored jumpers, and all stand in a row turned slightly left with their hands clasped in front of their waists. Black text printed above the photograph indicates their name and contact address. Text on each side of the photograph records their affiliation with the Liberty Baptist Church and their regular performance schedule. Below the photograph are the names of the four members - Annabelle Harris, Farrilla Hatten, Leola Greenlee, and Allean Franklin. Text is handwritten in blue ink above the top row of text with the name and street address of one of the group members. The reverse is blank.
