Note
The present work is a preparatory drawing for the eponymous lithograph, which White executed in 1976. While the subject and composition evoke traditional European religious imagery, the title itself refers to the famous speech Martin Luther King Jr. delivered on August 28, 1963 in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. during what is now remembered as the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
