This photo was taken at the march from Selma to Montgomery. The people are protesting so that there can be equality everywhere in america. This quote talks about how everything is unjust and fit with the picture.
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

This photo is about how if there is a problem in one area of the country there is a problem in the whole country because then it becomes acceptable and can spread to area around it.

I chose this quote to go with this picture because it was MLK who said this and this quote along with this picture because injustice is like a disease and if is not eradicated it will spread like an infection.

I chose these pictures because I thought that this would be a good way to get the point of MLK's speech and ideas across, that no matter what race you are, segregation is bad and everyone is equal. This picture shows a wealthy Hispanic woman having a white 'maid', a young white girl only seeing black dolls in a store, and many East Asian women getting a pedicure done by white women. I felt that these pictures show how other races are often portrayed  in media and swaps them with white people. This relates to MLK's ideas and guidelines, but presents it in a modern manner.

Quote- ‘’We will win our freedom because the sacred heritage of our nation and the eternal will of God are embodied in our echoing demands.’’

This picture depicts a man supporting and defending his right to bear arms. There is much controversy in today's world on whether to change the second amendment. Some people are protesting to take away the right to bear arms, though this man in the picture is fighting to keep the freedom that we have had since December 15, 1971.

This is the "Second Selma March" lead by Martin Luther King Junior in March 9, 1965 in Pettus Bridge and black people were demanidng the end of discrimination when they voted. I chose this quote from MLK because they had a first march before the one lead by MLK Junior; so they knew perfectly that they were going to be beaten and hit and they didn't care, they went because they were fighting for their rights.They actually had to protest to get their to vote as white people did.

I chose these pictures because I want to show the effects of how one person can influence/effect all people. The picture clearly  shows how one act of injustice by just one person can spread and affect many, if not all people. MLK's quote "Injustice anywhere is a threat to injustice everywhere.", is very important to and should be taken note of so that we all can not be victims of injustice.

In MLK's quote it demonstrated a issue about the rights to vote for African Americans. This picture was taken when the law did not allow black people to vote and people use marching method to protest the unjust law. This shows how black people reacted to MLK's vows for the nonviolent protest so I think this picture is a perfectly fit for the letter of MLK

This photo depicts the idea of races joining together instead of fighting one another. The quote I chose conveys the racism and unjust treatment of African Americans by whites.

This photo represents MLK giving speech in the public while there is no one speaking for the bad treatment to Negros by the public. I chose this picture because this picture draws a sharp contrast between the silent audience and MLK giving speech. He is the one that stands out protesting against the hateful words and actions of bad people.

"We have to repent in this generation, not merely for the hateful words and actions of bad people, but for the appalling silence of good people."

This photo represents MLK exercising his First Amendment rights. There is nothing more American than using the rights given to you by the constitution to better the free state. I chose this quote to represent this photo because it speaks a lot to why and how America was formed. I also chose this quote because it looks great with the flag waving in the background

# data[].attributes.body
This photo if from a march against segregation around the time of Martin Luther King Jr. They are fighting to no longer have segregation because they believe that everyone is equal and everyone should have the same rights. This quote talks about how segregation laws are ‘unjust’ because it does thing like put down people and messes with who they are. Basically, segregation laws should not be a thing because that means that all races are not equal, but that is false.

# data[].attributes.body
I found MLK's quote "When you have to concoct an answer for a five year old son who is asking in agonizing pathos, Daddy why do white people treat colored people so mean?" meaningful because in this quote, MLK makes it clear how this injustice is directly affecting the future generation (the kids), and how if something isn't done about it now, then segregation will progressively worsen in America.

This photo is from a Civil Rights march in Seattle on June 15, 1963 to try to protest against racial discrimination in the United States. I chose this quote to connect to this picture because each protestor looks angry and ready for change so Martin Luther King Jr. is urging people to understand that this is necessary for everyone that is fighting for equal rights to be heard and how even though they are angry and feel resentment, they are not using violence to get their message across.

"The Negro has many pent-up resentments and latent frustrations. He has to get them out. So let him march sometime; understand why we must have sit-ins and freedom rides."

This image and quote explains how Martin Luther King Jr. is a prophet for freedom, just like the Apostle Paul. He speaks of how Paul left his town to spread the word of Jesus Christ and freedom. Just like him, King is leaving his own town to spread his words of freedom. In this image it is comparing the two both king and Paul, and you can see how even though they lived hundreds of years apart, neither were afraid to leave their town and spread their words of freedom to the world. Through this, they were able to feel like an insider no matter how far from home they were.

This is a photograph of Malala Yousafzai, a girl who rebelled against the Pakistani government, to fight against gender inequality. Women were not allowed to attend school to recieve an education, and Malala strongly believed she should receive an education. I chose to pair this photo of her and this quote, because the "anxiety" refers to her being shot in the head for rebelling against the law that did not allow women to recieve an education. And the second quote explains that there are times when rebellion is necessary because laws are unjust.

This photo is of Batman looking over the city of Gotham. Batman is a DC superhero with no superpowers. Many people call him a vigilante. Some people like that he protects the city while others question the actual good he does for them.  The quote I chose connects with this picture because MLK is also just a man with no extraordinary superpowers, but finds a away to help people. Some of the people in Birmingham question the actual good MLK can do for them, but MLK looks past their doubts and continues to help them.

This image is from February of 1968, depicting African American Sanitation workers displaying the slogan "I am Man", which was derived from that of the abolitionist movement 100 years prior. These men are rising above the bearings of racism of their society to the " majestic heights" of equality as men.

“create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood.”

My image is from the Student Walkout on March 14, in Washington D.C. The Image shows students walking to protest the multiple school shootings that have occurred in the past few years. Their persistent fighting to get their voices out in the open, and release their message to the world. These young students have increased the tension on this situation and will be the reason the problem of gun violence will be uprooted.

My image is from the Birmingham march, of people being sprayed with fire hoses. I Paired it with the quote, "We would present our very bodies as a means of laying our case before the conscience of
the local and national community." I picked this quote and this image to show MLK's style of protest. The picture lacked pixels and so does the text, but the message is still there.

This photo depicts kids, both white and black experiencing segregation. The small picture in the top left hand corner shows young African Americans being harassed by white police men. Then the picture in the middle shows three young white teenager boys who are striking against the attendance of African American kids in their school. Then the quote I chose is "Daddy, why do white people treat colored people to mean." This quote pair perfectly with these pictures because is shows the awful treatment that not only grown white adults have on African American kids but the treatment of kids the same age. This meme speaks a lot because it shows the affects that segregation have on kids, who represent innocence and have a right to education like any other student

This photo depicts the march from Selma to Montgomery lead by MLK which demanded a change on voting rights and segregation in schools. The quote states that the people of that generation need to not try to cover up the hateful words of the oppressors, but allow for the oppressed to speak and demand the necessary changes. The silence of those who didn't demand such a change would hold back the generation as much as the hateful words of the enemies would. The words from the letter are often still relevant today; when change is needed, voices have to heard over the silence or hateful disapproval. In this photo, the marchers are displaying how they are using their voices and bodies to demand change.

This photo is from the May Day March, which took place in L.A. on May 1, 2017. This march was in support of immigration causes and rights. The sign in the picture has the translated meaning of "no human being is illegal." This connects to MLK's quote because the marchers also believe that "anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider."

This is a picture of a woman holding up a sign that reads "Love>Hate" (Love is greater than hate) . Not sure specifically what protest the picture was from, but I did see a connection between this photo and a quotation from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter From Birmingham Jail". This connection is that the sign and the quotation essentially have the same intention: To overcome any sort of racism and hatred against one another by learning how to love and accept one another.

This photograph depicts a crow flying above a bald eagle. This is significant because the bald eagle is a symbol for America, but right above it is the black bird, which one may associate with Jim Crow, a symbol for Black people. MLK's quote explains that well before the Eagle took flight--upon the Jefferson's writing of the Declaration of Independence--the Crow flew higher. Blacks were a part of the land, or in this case the sky, before American values. To take it one step further, the fact that the crow flies over the eagle could suggest that MLK's white audience values the crow, or the African American's suppression in society, over the Eagle--the contradictory rights that America founded itself on.

The image I created shows a young person supporting the LGBT+ movement. The quote from the letter says that change needs to happen now and suggests that people should accept that and understand that they want their equality now. The connection of a quote from MLK to the movements today shows how well his words worked in the face of inequality

This picture shows a group of African-Americans being assaulted by police officers with a fire hose. The quote from Martin Luther King Jr. shows that African-Americans are being told to wait for equal rights, but if they are being oppressed more and more harshly, then action is necessary. I chose this picture because it accurately portrays the oppression that African-Americans have faced throughout history, even when they participate in non-violent protests and other movements that do not harm others. The oppression not only affects and destroys the people who are oppressed, but it also damages future generations and their view of America, which is why I chose a quote talking about children to go with the picture demonstrating open oppression

This photograph comes from the Women's March held in Washington D.C. This march took place in September 2017. It was a protest advocating women having control over their own bodies, rather than having decisions made for them by the government. About 4 million women showed up and marched for hours. I chose this quote from "Letter from Birmingham Jail" written by Martin Luther King Jr., because  it shows the basis for why women are marching for rights over their selves. Women were promised to have control of their bodies, but this promise was broken as some politicians decided to have things like abortion illegal. As an answer to that issue and many others, women took direct action by marching.

This is a photograph of Coretta Scott King, wife of Martin Luther King, addressing the Birmingham March. The significance of her address was that she was speaking about creating unity throughout the entire community, black or not. I chose this quote because it expresses how the community failed to do this, being that they fronted support but didn't follow through in making change.

The image is a photograph of Martin Luther King Jr.  in a jail cell for his peaceful protests.  The quote says  “So I have tried to make it clear that it is wrong to use immoral means to attain moral ends. But now I must affirm that it is just as wrong, or even more so, to use moral means to preserve immoral ends. ” What it's saying here is that even for doing something such as this the African Americans are still being punished for wanting to have equal rights and that what the White people are doing are the immoral ones rather than the protesters.

This picture depicts slavery which Dr. King says was severely worse than what they were going through at the time of him writing the Birmingham Letter.

This is the picture of the post board was written by the white man, and it is related to segregation. The post board is showing that there are no blacks, Jews, and dogs allow to go into that area. It  shows that it is unfair for these people who are color people, it means that  there are not allow to go to certain restaurant and bathroom. They are being isolated by the society. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust; it distorts the soul and damages the personality.

This is a photograph of Emma Gonzalez, a survivor of the Parkland school shooting. Recently she has been a popular face in the news, as she has been speaking out about gun control. Like the quote says, she is using her voice to bring awareness to the need for gun reform. While issues regarding this topic have been around for years, she is voicing these problems in hopes of change being made. Her personal experience is helping her find her voice and show the desperate need for gun control within the United States.

This image is a current photo of a black lives matter peaceful protesting march. This displays how even though times have changed, and there is a lot less racism, there are still issues. The quote about laws is still relevant to today, and this is what connects the image to the quote from the "Letter from Birmingham Jail."

Here is the article and artist, Daniel Rarela, who inspired this assignment:

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
One graphic designer is taking a stand during Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Artist Daniel Rarela designed a series of memes to stop the late civil rights leader from getting whitewashed this year.

On Sunday, Rarela took to to share black and white images - old and new - with quotes from Martin Luther King Jr. However, Rarela didn't pull quotes from King's Aug. 28, 1963 " I Have a Dream" speech. Instead, his images contain lines from King's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," which was written on April 16, 1963.

"The idea for these memes came about last year in the midst of so many unarmed black men dying at the hands of police," Rarela said in an email interview with Mic. "I noticed that several people I was connected with on Facebook had nothing to say about their deaths; although some would occasionally point out character flaws with the victims as if to justify their deaths somehow."

According to Rarela, the memes really came to life after the peaceful Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas in July turned deadly. Five police officers were killed and seven others were wounded by Micah Xavier Johnson, a military veteran who served in Afghanistan.

"I saw those same Facebook friends suddenly posting quotes [and] memes about love and peace from Martin Luther King Jr.," Rarela continued. "My first thought was, 'Oh, so it's ok for you to quote MLK and care when police officers die, but not when others die at the hands of police brutality?' The selective compassion really rubbed me the wrong way, as well as people trying to promote love and peace through Martin Luther King Jr. without talking about the racial and economic justice he championed."

That drove Rarela to design the memes for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

"As a graphic designer, I wanted to shatter this false image of a Martin Luther King who everyone loved, never got arrested, was universally popular and made zero privileged people feel uncomfortable or angry enough to want to kill him."

Using old images, as well as current ones, Rarela placed quotes from King's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" over top. The overall design was a tribute to contemporary artists Barbara Kruger, with the decision to make all the photos black and white a creative one.

"[I wanted] to emphasize how timeless Dr. King's message really is."

The picture here is of members of the KKK and the quote I chose from the Birmingham Jail letter was: "Individuals may see the moral light and give up their unjust posture; but as Reinhold Niebuhr has reminded us, groups are more immoral than individuals." This picture relates with the quote because it explains how the KKK became so much more powerful as a group but as individuals they don't nearly have as much influence or power and that if they were just individuals and not a group they would be less evil.
