Today is the national celebration of the birthday of Dr. Martin - TopicsExpress



          

Today is the national celebration of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I have not yet been able to discover any photographs of dinnerware used by his family, or his congregations. I did not even find any informal photos of him sharing a meal with others, which might have included identifiable pottery. It seems likely that East Liverpool area pottery would have been identified in such photos. I had hoped to find these so as to provide an unusual connection between this great man whose legacy is still bearing fruit, and the most mundane of household objects. So here instead is a link to an article about the food that was served at the 1963 march in Washington, DC: smithsonianmag/arts-culture/eating-on-the-march-food-at-the-1963-march-on-washington-1291334/
