"Martin Luther King, Jr." (2014) – mural (acrylic paint)
This is my painting of Martin Luther King, Jr. (60" x 70") on the Change The World mural at Gray Avenue Middle School in Yuba City, California.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was a pastor, an activist, a humanitarian, and is the most recognized leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. He is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using nonviolent civil disobedience. His famous "I Have a Dream" speech established his reputation as one of the greatest orators in American history. King is a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Congressional Gold Medal. The United States (which once labeled him a "radical") now celebrates 'Martin Luther King, Jr. Day' as a national holiday.
