In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. briefly considered running for US president. What ignited him were images of American napalm attacks during the Vietnam War. ‘Never again will I be silent on an issue that is destroying the soul of our nation and destroying thousands of little children in Vietnam,’ he said. On April 4, 1968, he was murdered.
This is an original b/w silver gelatin press photograph from 1967, which appears with a slightly mottled surface. In addition, common handling marks.
