Synopsis: This is an image of the famous African American civil rights leader and Baptist minister Martin Luther King making a speech. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. There is a dashed line image border surrounding the image. King's head is in the top half of the page. He is seen from the front so all his facial features can be found. At the top of the image is his hair and down the page you will find his two eyebrows, eyes and nose, and to either side of his head, an ear. His mouth is open as in speech. Further down the page is the collar of his cream-coloured shirt, with his blue tie going down the page. To the left of the tie you will find one of his hands with its first finger pointing up towards his mouth. The other fingers are bent down towards the palm of his hand. To the right of his tie is part of a microphone going from near his chin and down diagonally right to the image border. He is wearing a pale lilac suit jacket. Both his hand and the microphone are in front of him and obscure parts of his jacket and shirt. King was born in 1929. He received the Nobel Peace Prize for his successful civil rights campaigns that included the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955 and the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965. He was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee by James Earl Ray in 1968.
