A piece of story inside an image




My favourite photo I think is the one taken by Julian Wasser for the magazine Time Life pictures in 1965 for the speech of M. Luther King called "I Have a Dream"on Washington DC. I like this picture very much because it represent an extraordinary leader like Martin Luther King and all the people that he inspired in an age of vacuum for their rigths.

After this, Martin Luther King received the Nobel Peace Prize for combating racial inequality through nonviolence and his speech "I Have a Dream" came to be regarded as one of the finest speeches in the history of American oratory. The March, and especially King's speech, helped put civil rights at the top of the agenda of reformers in the United States and facilitated passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

At the end, on 1968 Luther King was assassinated when he was planning a national occupation of Washington, D.C by an man that didn´t liked the Luther King ideas.

  2. Non violence is always an option. But what it means? I feel like any act that has an impact in real life has to be violent. Say it in another way, disturb someone or something. You can´t make changes with acts that doesn´t tuch any important nerve. Any way, "non violence" seems like a proper way to make the transformations of the world we want to have. Nice photo!
