    These 12 photographs, drawn from the Chrysler's collection, were taken by award-winning photographer Ben Fernandez just one year before the untimely death of Civil Rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Fernandez captured several powerful moments of King's life on camera. These compelling images invite visitors to walk through the streets with Fernandez as he witnessed history in the making and the rare opportunity to view the home of Dr. King and his family. Fernandez documented, with great visual strength, the impact of the slain leader and the movement he created on the United States of America both then and now. These photos were initially produced by Kodak as 50 Limited Edition, numbered portfolios-donated to prestigious museums, including the Chrysler.
