Dedication will cost you something. It cost Dr. King his freedom again and again. But hear me: the bars could hold his body, and they could never hold his purpose.

The History Behind the Image
Dr. King was jailed in Birmingham several times. In April 1963, during the Birmingham Campaign, he was arrested on Good Friday and wrote his famous Letter from Birmingham Jail. The well-known photograph of King looking out through the bars of a Jefferson County Jail cell was taken later, in October 1967, by his colleague Wyatt Tee Walker, when the two men returned to Birmingham to serve sentences for leading that 1963 march without a permit after the Supreme Court ruled against them in Walker v. City of Birmingham. Supplier materials have dated this image to 1963; the photograph itself is from 1967, while the cause he was jailed for dates to 1963.
