Unpublished Black History
By RACHEL L. SWARNS, DARCY EVELEIGH and DAMIEN CAVE

Revealing moments in black history, with unpublished photos from The New York Times’s archives. Every day during Black History Month, we will publish at least one of these photographs online, illuminating stories that were never told in our pages and others that have been mostly forgotten. Below is the first image published in the archival series, featuring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
