I Dedicate This Image To Martin Luther King

1968 Summer Olympics

event: 200 METERS

photographer:  John Dominis 

The true colors of this 1968 image
are gold, silver and bronze.

Whatever emotions the fists of
Mr. Smith & Mr. Carlos  inspired
at that time have–in 2015–morphed
into the "fist-bump" becoming
a desirable variation of the
American handshake.

No less than the non-violent legacy
of  MARTIN LUTHER KING
is responsible for the
transformation of
a clenched fist
into a modern
salutation.

Please celebrate Dr. King's Birthday
in a peaceful, pleasurable
& fun manner.
