In a 1968 speech, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.” Those words, inspired by 19th-century abolitionist Theodore Parker, are engraved on the South Wall of King’s Washington, D.C., memorial. Barack Obama often quoted them, and even had them woven into an Oval Office rug. And now, North Las Vegas’ Left of Center Art Gallery has themed a new art show around them.
