        Thanks for posting this beautiful album, Shaun. Kindness and love radiate from his face. I was a little girl then, and except for photos in Time and Life magazines at the time, I recall this time and the Vietnam War as images in black and white on the TV.

        I graduated high school in 1981 in MA. We had already been celebrating MLK for some years. We were making small steps, some forward, some back, but having this day to reflect on his life & words reminded us of who we could become. It still does. http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2014/01/20/good-question-how-did-mlk-jr-s-birthday-become-a-natl-holiday/ …

        Love the color photos. Much better than the white ones that pretend to be black.

        This is amazing - I was thinking about exactly that earlier today. I think color images makes him so much more real and vital to our kids - part of the world they live in! Thank you for putting this together.

        It's pretty easy to convert all of the black and white photos to color as well.

        Today is a good day to recognize the racism of #BlackLivesMatter which ironically MLK fought to stop. #MLKDAY
