Martin Luther King Caricture Drawing

Martin Luther King
marker on paper, 9x12 in.
by Yvonne Ham

I did this caricature in honor of Martin Luther King Day, January 18, 2016.   Martin Luther King was born January 15,1929 in Atlanta, Georgia.  He was a civil rights leader who supported non violence.   He was a Baptist minister who lead the Montgomery Bus Boycott and later the March on Washington where he gave his famous "I Have A Dream Speech" in 1963.  He received the Noble Peace Prize in 1963 for speaking against racial inequality.  Martin Luther King fought  for racial equality until he was assassinated on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee. 

I thank Mr. King for all his lifelong struggles to bring justice and equality to the African American and continue to  support equality for all races.   

I hope you enjoyed this caricature.
