Exhibit Opening at the King National Historic Site

The dream of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. has been interpreted by 70 artists in an exhibit opening at the King National Historic Site. The "I Have A Dream: International Exhibition to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr." opens today at the site, which includes King's birth home and tomb. The various tributes to the civil rights icon include depictions of struggle and activism, as well as works that address gender and race.
The exhibit was organized by city of Sitges, Spain and features artists from every continent. It arrives in King's birthplace after stops in New York, Michigan and Tennessee and will continue to Alabama and Illinois before returning to Spain next year.
