I don´t think that this is my favorite photograph, because I have many, but there it is a whole story behind this picture, and that it is what I like about it.
Even though this picture it is just a photograph of The Lorraine Motel, it has an important meaning to the history of the humanity, since it was in this motel where the Dr. Martin Luther King's assassination happened.
This photograph was taken by Henry Groskinsky on April 4, 1968, the night that Martin Luther King had been shot.This Motel is located at Memphis, and now it`s the Nacional Civil Rights Museum.
I like this picture, because it´s a great photograph, but more important, I like it, because it is a reminder of Dr. King, a symbolic leader of his race, but also a world figure, who fought for his civil rights.
This picture make me come back to that night, where the horror, the injustice and the hate was most important than the union of the human race.
It makes me think about the actuality, the changes that has been made, but also about the same injustice that happened before and it`s happen now. It makes me think on how some people cannot understand that we are all the same, with the same rights, no matter what color is our skin, our where we come from.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
