Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday


Jack Delano, "Negro Driver Asleep under a Truck," 1940. From the FSA photography collection at the Library of Congress. Notes on the photograph indicate that it was taken in Washington, D.C., in June 1940, and provide this description: "Negro driver asleep under a truck. There are no sleeping accomodations for Negroes at this service station. On U.S. 1."
