Martin Luther King Jr. is shown in half-length profile, facing left, as he speaks into a bank of microphones at an anti-war demonstration in New York City in 1967. The photograph was taken by Don Rice for the World Journal Tribune, a New York newspaper of the period. That year King spoke out publicly and forcefully against the Vietnam War, linking it to the civil rights struggle and to poverty at home, and his April 1967 speech at Riverside Church in Manhattan drew sharp criticism even from some allies. The picture captures him mid-address, a reminder of how central New York protests were to the national debate over the war.
