This dramatic full-page photograph from LIFE Magazine appeared in 1964 and features Martin Luther King Jr. preaching at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. This is an original historic page from the 1964 LIFE Magazine that included an excerpt from MLK's book "Why We Can't Wait" which he wrote in the aftermath of the Birmingham riots of 1963 which were provoked by bombings targeting African-American leaders. Upon order, this page will be painstakingly extracted from the original edition in which it appears and carefully framed and packaged for delivery.
