Martin Luther King, Jr. was one of the most inspiring leaders of the Civil Rights Movement for his belief in nonviolent rebellion. This picture, taken in 1963, is of him when he gave his "I Have a Dream" speech. In it, he is addressing over 200,000 people about his dream of racial equality and no discrimination whatsoever. You can see the look of content on his face as he is waving to the crowd, so we can tell the feeling is one of content and overall hope, especially in the people. They had just heard one of best speeches ever, and were feeling more than ready for a change. Along with what we can see, this picture provokes one to think about the true influence MLK had on his supporters.
