Why not post today! I was looking for a picture of Dr Martin Luther King Jr and found this one in an article from NBC. Martin Luther King Jr: His Life in Pictures.
There were some amazing pictures. I'm so used to seeing the ones with him looking so serious, but there were some candid ones too that were wonderful.
I loved this one of him in his library.

Summary
Long before he became a world-famous dreamer, Martin Luther King Jr. was a little boy who played jokes and practiced the piano and made friends without considering race. But growing up in the segregated south of the 1930s taught young Martin a bitter lesson--little white children and little black children were not to play with one another. Martin decided then and there that something had to be done. And so he began the journey that would change the course of American history.
