Portrait Series:
To mark the opening of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial, Nikki Kahn of The Washington Post photographed 30-foot-tall granite statue of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. that stands at the heart of the memorial in Washington. In similar lighting, she made portraits of men and women who worked with King during the civil rights movement and who have carried on King's legacy sine his assassination. King is the first non-president and first African American to be honored with a memorial on the National Mall. Kahn received an Award of Excellence for this feature picture story. |
