About the image
Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. addresses live television cameras and a crowd of 25,000 on the steps of the Alabama state capitol at the conclusion of the Selma to Montgomery AL March for Voting Rights, on March 25, 1965. This was just a few hundred feet from Dexter Avenue Baptist Church (seen in the background), where he got his start as a minister in 1954. 

This image was featured for the first time for collectors at our landmark exhibition: Rosa Sat, Martin Walked, & Barack Ran: From a Seat on a Bus to a Desk at The White House, in February, 2010. It was later the inspiration for the recreated version used to advertise the award-winning film Selma (2014).

As one of the most powerful images of MLK Jr. and his important legacy, this image has been very popular with photography collectors in the last decade.
