The artwork, created by students in Los Angeles area elementary, middle, and high schools, best exemplifies the values and vision articulated in Dr. King’s momentous speech. Judges of the submissions included artist, Mark Bradford; Vida Brown, CAAM’s Visual Arts Curator & Program Manager; LA Times Chief Art Critic, Christopher Knight; Steven D.
