Vernis & Bowling recognizes and celebrates Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. This holiday, designated as a “national day of service,” celebrates the Civil Rights leader’s life and legacy. His life was not only framed by the words he spoke, but by the images that captured his accomplishments. The iconic image on the left was photographed by the late Tom Lankford, father-in-law of our Managing Partner, Robert C. Bowling.
