Americans today celebrate the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. Here he is at age 34 in front of hundreds of thousands at the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington:
And here he is seven years earlier during his first foray into activism, as a 27-year-old leading a bus boycott in Montgomery. This mug shot from his arrest in February of 1956 was recently discovered in the archives of the police department. Someone there clearly delighted in King's assassination 12 years later.
He looks so young.
that's a priceless pic - even with the disfigurations lol
