This picture was taken in Brooklyn on Herkimer Street and Nostrand Avenue. It’s a mural of Martin Luther King Jr. He was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. He was a minister and social activist who was assassinated for voicing his opinions on American civil rights. He was assassinated April 4, 1968 while standing on a balcony in Memphis. He stood up for the African American community during a time where white Americans and black Americans were very divided. It was during the times of segregation. He is very well known for his “I Have A Dream” speech. His speech was his thoughts on one day the nation reuniting as one. His murals can be seen all around the United States. I think the portrait was made very nice. Everyone who walks by the portrait can’t help but to reminisce on history during a time of sadness. It shows how far we’ve come as a country.
