As we celebrate a day in honor of one of our greatest social activists, I have regularly done artwork of MLK on or near this day for the past few years. I feel a strange drive to paint his likeness and think about the sacrifices so many made during segregation. No matter the controversy or hoopla surrounding Dr. King's personal life, he stood up and acted, spoke and inspired others to look at this world in a different way. For this, and so much more, I am proud to paint Dr.King.
