DescriptionThis black and white photograph shows a group of school children waving to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Dexter Avenue. The photograph is a close-up image of the children and does not show the street or Dr. King. The children are all black and are crowded around a wooden ledge where some are leaning to look over and others are standing behind. The faces of ten children can be seen and as well as the outreached hands of more in the background. All of them are looking towards the left of the photograph. They are wearing casual clothing.
