- Description
- A black-and-white digital image of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Coretta Scott King, and their three children, Yolanda, Martin III, and Dexter. The children are playing on a swing set, with their parents standing on either side. Coretta, heavily pregnant, stands on the left wearing a dotted t-shirt and skirt holding onto one of the swings. Yolanda, the eldest child, wearing a dress with bows in her hair, is pushing her little brother, Dexter, on a swing. Dexter is wearing plaid overalls and white shoes. Martin III is featured mid-swing, wearing a light shirt and dark pants. Dr. King stands on the right of the swing set, wearing a suit without the jacket, with his hand in his pocket. A house can be seen in the background.
