Black-and-white photograph of Martin Luther King, Jr., a Black man shown from the shoulders up, looking to his right. He threads his fingers together in front of his left cheek, a wedding ring glinting on his left hand. Our right side of the photograph is shadowed to darkness, while King, Jr. looks into a light coming from the left of the photograph, illuminating his face.
