Monday Mural: remembering Dr. King

Found on a construction fence in West Oakland.  Today is a national holiday where we honor Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and work.  One of my favorite quotes from  him:  We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

Welcome to Monday Mural:  if you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme's for you.  Just follow the Linky steps below.  You get to decide what constitutes a mural.  Once you start looking, you find them everywhere.  Be sure to link back to this blog and to visit your fellow posters.  Looking forward to the mural finds posted this week.

    Great find! So many MLK murals around, nice you found one that appears to be more of a tribute than a statement for this occasion.
