A Little Late, but....

Above is a picture of Martin Luther King, Jr.....but you don't really have to be told that, do you? Martin Luther King, Jr. changed our world in a way that few historical figures can say they have. He held the reigns to one of the biggest movements in our American history to obtain freedom for his oppressed people, and the result is a free America.

In the picture, you can see that he is at the Lincoln Memorial, where his famous "I Have a Dream" speech took place. It looks as if he is recognizing the people that are there, as if to say how much he appreciated them all being there, or to give them an indication as to how much their participation could change the world.

Not only is his position important, but just look at all of the people. You wouldn't know it, but the background of this picture is the National Mall, a big long stretch of green grass the goes from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument. There are so many people in attendance at this event that you can't even see the background; and that's what I find so thought-evoking.

It's funny to imagine an event like this, either in terms of numbers or magnitude, in today's world, but this picture helps us a lot. The most evoking thing is, as I said before, the amount of people that turned out for this event. Another thing to note is that there are white people as well as colored people in the audience; and that's what I find so inspiring. Through this photo, the kids of our kids will be able to understand just how powerful this world-changing movement really was.
