This original oil on canvas painting was created in 2001 as part of my senior thesis for my BFA from Corcoran Collage of Art and Design in Washington, DC.  I chose to paint Dr. King, Abernathy and Rev. Jessie Jackson as they prayed before a civil rights march. I used the muted colors to exress the mood of the civil rights era.  As an artist I want to encourage everyone that we all are responsible for making Dr. King's dream a reality.  The dream still lives!
