Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Ralph Abernathy.
All three men were also very prominent figures in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC).
These portraits were taken from the same original photo, which was taken on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, on April 4th, 1968. Minutes after the photo was snapped, MLK was assassinated on the very same balcony.
