Reflecting on MLK's powerful words on the day democracy felt its decline

A black-and-white image of heavy rain falling under a bright spotlight, overlaid with a quote in white serif font attributed to Martin Luther King. The quote reads 'FREEDOM IS NEVER VOLUNTARILY GIVEN BY THE OPPRESSOR; IT MUST BE DEMANDED BY THE OPPRESSED.' A hashtag #BREAD&CIRCUS appears in the top right corner and an Instagram handle @punkishgoddess is in the bottom right. The visual contrast of the bright light against the dark, rainy background emphasizes the gravity of the quote.
