Awesome celtic knot frame, and the dedication is wonderful- even more moving because of the personal anecdote. He was, indeed, a "remarkable" person.

What a beautiful tribute and great story to honor a truly remarkable man. It made me pause and think about what Dr. King stood for, and what he fought for ... equality for all.

I'm totally moved by your story and how you visualized it. Even though I live in another part of the world the greatness of Dr. King was felt here too. Well done, Chris.
