Dr. Martin Luther king Jr. Day
“I Have a Dream” mural in Chattanooga, TN. Kodak Tri X Film Photography by Ricky Davis of TRD Photography. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Graffiti tribute
Today is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Day, and I wanted to share a few MLK murals that I’ve found. I have so many feelings and thoughts about the issues we are facing in our current state here in America. It’s overwhelming and so chaotic that it really makes it difficult to process.
I was born in 81, and so growing up I don’t remember anything of this caliber happening here. The Civil Rights Era is probably the closest thing back to what we are experiencing now, other than they were fighting for rights, and we are fighting for rights to not be taken away. But I wonder how Dr. King would approach the things happening today, and so I want to share some quotes that have made me think about things as well.
