1966 Large photograph of Civil Rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fielding questions at the height of the movement for black equality. The photo was taken by a photographer named Joe Kordick of the Chicago Sun Times and it is likely the only surviving example in the world. Despite the creases from handling over the years, the quality and clarity of the piece is fantastic. One of the better portrait style images of King we have ever seen.
