clearly for us the march on washington and king's "i have a dream" speech is a very important jumping off point for discussing king's career. i think, though, that it's important and i hope that the exhibition conveys this, that there's far more to martin luther king than one speech and one dream. anyone can have a vision or a dream for the future, but it's the extraordinary individual that can dedicate his or her life to making that dream a reality. and through the exhibition, through the various photographs and representations of king, we're able to trace the trajectory of his career. to see those high points as well as the setbacks that he endured and to understand how they shaped him and the quality of his leadership. the photographs help us remember that king was such a young man during all of these activities. he was just 39 when he was killed. he was 25 when he went to montgomery and he was 26 when he led the boycott. he was 34 when he delivered the "i have a dream" speech. and i think that it's important to understand what his life was like and i'm hoping that these im
