| People riding on an escalator is a common occurrence,
but when I saw this scene I felt it was as if they were on their way to
heaven. The photograph was taken at a march in Washington celebrating
the 20th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s immortal speech, "I
Have a Dream." It moved me to see many people, black and white, coming
together in harmony through the light and dark of the photograph and the
converging lines of the escalator. And then as they reach the top,
they merge and become one with the light as the concrete walls expand and
dissolve. |
