Jackie Robinson and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Jackie Robinson and Martin Luther King at Howard University receiving honorary of Doctor of Law degrees. Robinson had just retired from professional baseball earlier in the year. Ca. 1957. 

This is quite a historic shot of, without question, the two most significant figures in the 20th century movement for racial civil rights in America.
