This photo was obtained by the associated press, but it was long ago when this photo was taken by a photographer which in my opinion is the best kind of art. This photograph was taken of Martin Luther King who was a leading civil rights activist. The photo was taken after he wrote the letter from Birmingham Jail which was very influential to African American people everywhere.
My name is Nazir Brown and I am now a junior at NJCU. I dedicate myself to my school work and I also maintain a job outside of school. I find these kind of projects very interesting because I don't really get to explore art in this kind of way. I never peaked a lot of interest into it but this assignment has really opened my eyes to some very beautiful pieces of work. I hope I can do more like this.
The reason I chose this photo is because it reminded me of a project I did in High school about people of black history and I wanted a chance to recreate another photo. In my opinion this man represented peace in a time where hate and violence and prejudice were a problem but he preserved. MLK is significant because he was a civil rights leader who paved the way for people of color. To me that photo above represents looking towards a better future with hope and peace. It was very inspiring to see one man spark a change for a whole nation of people.
