Martin Luther King, Selma March

Original Photo

KING JR., Martin Luther. Original silver gelatin press photo. Dr King is pictured speaking to a large crowd of civil rights demonstrators at the end of the historic march from Selma to Montgomery. 6.5" x 4.5" inches. Black and white. This march was part of a series of civil rights protests that took place in Alabama in 1965 as part of an effort to register Black voters in the South. Protesters walked the 54-mile route from Selma to the state capital of Montgomery facing deadly violence from local authorities and white vigilante groups along the way. On verso is a very light ink stamp we can not read, and a handwritten note "Secola - 4 Colonne" [italian for "Century- 4 Columns"]. Press photos are taken by photojournalists often within tight timeframes for the benefit of particular editorial boards to illustrate articles and affect public opinion. Corners slightly bent. In very good condition overall. $1,250.
