2. Remembering Martin Luther King Jr.
Painted Dreams

3. Painted Dreams
Photographer Camilo José Vergara has spent his
career photographing some of the poorest and most
segregated communities in the U.S. Over the past
three decades, he has documented murals and signs,
many featuring Martin Luther King Jr., in cities across
the country. In these hand-painted tributes, King
appears in a variety of guises: as the everyman, the
martyr, the mythic hero, alongside African-American
and Latino heroes and, in recent years, in company
with President Barack Obama.
