Martin Luther King Jr.

An aged Martin Luther King Jr., his face lined with the wisdom of battles fought for justice and equality. He became an icon of the Civil Rights Movement, celebrated for his profound oratory and unyielding commitment to nonviolent protest, epitomized in his historic “I Have a Dream” speech. His leadership advanced significant civil rights laws in America, changing the course of history.

Tragically, his crusade for a society free of discrimination was cut short when he left the world on April 4, 1968. This poignant image envisions a world where his wise counsel continued to inspire, an elder still dreaming of his beloved community, still marching toward freedom.
