This incredible piece of art, drawn with tiny prison pens from behind walls, was made by Ismanuel Dilan.
It features Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, with his infamous inmate number - 7089 - as captured in the iconic mugshot from his arrest in Alabama for his leadership in organizing the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1956.
MLK Jr is flanked by Malcom X and Muhammad Ali, two titans of civil resistance and anti-racism leadership.
This art has been hanging in our OAR offices, inspiring our staff, since it was gifted by Ismanuel several years ago.
We look forward to featuring it in our art gallery for our 50th Celebration on Oct 3rd.
