I Have a Dream
 
This drawing illustrates Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King marching together, surrounded by a collective moving with shared purpose. Their figures are grounded and forward facing, embodying resolve rather than spectacle. They are not separated from the crowd but carried within it, emphasizing leadership rooted in community.
 
Interwoven into the composition is handwritten text drawn from Dr. King’s I Have a Dream speech. The words drift across the page like memory and movement, functioning not as caption but as rhythm. The poem is not meant to be read once and left behind, but felt as part of the march itself echoing the moral clarity and urgency that defined the moment.
 
Rendered in black ink, this piece documents a partnership in both love and resistance. It honors Dr. and Mrs. King not only as public figures, but as companions walking side by side through history. I Have a Dream preserves a moment where words, bodies, and belief moved together toward a vision still unfolding.
