Monday Mural: MLKing Jr. Day

Today is the federal holiday honoring the life and works of Martin Luther King Jr.  Many images of him can be found around Oakland.  This one happens to be on a wall that faces the street named after him.

Several bloggers have been posting their own murals on Monday and linking back to each other.  They have encouraged me to start a Linky where we can all gather to post our murals.  You get to decide what constitutes a mural.  Just follow the Linky directions below and post away.  Be sure and visit fellow mural posters and please link back to this blog.  Since this is my first attempt at a Linky, there may be glitches.  I'll do what I can to "unglitch" them.

    THANK YOU for setting up this linky for us mural seekers! So far no glitches that I can see. Martin Luther King was an important leader in humankind's efforts to become more humane... A nice tribute to him today.
