I see John Kennedy but I don't see Martin Luther King? Why aren't they together? Martin Luther King is one of my Christian heros. A major oversight in my opinion - so major I think the painting should be done over - and I don't like the comments of the interviewer regarding fema-he is very presumptious and mocking-not kingdom minded-very self-serving in my opinion

I personally spoke to Jon McNaughton's business manager about this. He said that Jon wanted to include Dr. King in the painting but the King estate wanted an unreasonable % of the gross proceeds from each painting-print, etc.

No other heir to any of the other famous names in the painting raised this issue There are extensive copyright issues with estates like the King estate that have spent enormous sums of money to police and protect copyright images. It's very unfortunate as I am a fan of Dr. King, too.

@smartbandwidth Now McNaughton includes Dr. King in some paintings with part of his face hidden so that no one can claim appropriation.

This is such an ideological piece of shit...

How disgusting, and a Black man selling out. One nation under Satan, always has been that way, founded on rape and murder, continuing to this day.

King is depicted as the soilder in front of Kennedy...if you look closely the name KING is on the soliders chest. The King family would not allow Kings image to be painted in this paiting (weird), so the artist added him without the viewer knowing it was actually him...only way to get around the Copyright. -- All American needs to see this painting, please share it with all yoru friends.

Thou shalt have no other elohim before me.20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

Our FATHER is not George Washington nor any of those other Masons. Our declaration of separation is the OLD and New Covenant that calls us to come out and be separate. Look into the real history Fred u know Free Masons and which god it is at the top of their pyramid.

sad to hear the estate of MLK wanted money for his appearance in a beautiful piece of art like this.Martin Luther would not be happy about this .I hope this picture brings God back to the people of this country too. God Bless
