The King

Did you know that the reference photo for this iconic image was taken in the midst of the Montgomery Bus Boycott?  

In the midst of leading one of the nation's most successful boycotts, Dr. King, the leader of the Civil Rights Movement who ultimately gave his life for the cause, found time to just be a 27 year old. Even if for a brief moment.  This is one of my favorite images of Dr. King. There are so many photos of him looking stoic and serious, but it’s this image that feels so relatable.

Can’t you imagine? Late night group planning session, having a deep conversation with The King.
