EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures a significant moment in history as New York City Mayor Robert Wagner warmly greets Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King, at City Hall in 1964. The image showcases the meeting of two influential figures who played pivotal roles in the civil rights movement. Mayor Wagner's outstretched hand symbolizes not only a gesture of welcome but also represents the city's support for Dr. King's fight against racial inequality and injustice. Both men are dressed impeccably, with Mayor Wagner donning a hat that adds an air of formality to the occasion. Dr. King stands tall, exuding strength and determination as he shakes hands with Mayor Wagner, while Mrs. King looks on proudly beside her husband. Their presence outside City Hall serves as a reminder that this struggle for equality was not confined to one region but resonated throughout America. Photographed by Phil Stanziola, this image captures the essence of unity and collaboration between leaders from different backgrounds working towards a common goal – social reform and justice for all Americans regardless of race or color. Preserved through time, this print is a testament to the courage and resilience displayed by these remarkable individuals during an era marked by immense challenges and triumphs in their pursuit of equal rights for African Americans across the nation.
