Strength to Love. That is the book he authored (a collection of his sermons) that was in Martin Luther King's briefcase, right, open as he packed it, in his hotel the day he was shot. These never before released photos from the day he died by Henry Groskinsky for Life magazine.
Earlier this month I saw Dan Budnik's photographs of, Marching the Dream: American Civil Rights Photography which included many photos of Martin Luther King in an exhibit at Gerald Peters Gallery in Santa Fe.
I'm headed to my hometown, Oklahoma City, and will just miss the Harlem Renaissance exhibit at the Oklahoma Museum of Art. Darn. But oh well. It is the week of the Arts Festival, which is a great event in that town.
African American Art is a hot genre, as I covered earlier.
It was a fabulous exhibit and I'm sure the catalog is still available. There is a book called "Harlem Renaissance Art of Black American" available on Amazon that is fabulous and had a lot of the same art as the exhibit. Loved the post as always.
