Summary edit

Description
English: Photo by United Press International (UPI) of Martin Luther King Jr. in a jail cell on June 11, 1964, following his arrest on trespassing charges connected to the St. Augustine movement in St. Augustine, Florida. The caption reads: "SAP061201–6/12/62–ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA.: Dr. Martin Luther King peers between the bars of his jail cell at the St. John's County jail here 6/11 shortly after he and other integration demonstrators were arrested on trespassing charges at a local motel. SAP061201–6/12/62–ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA.: Dr. Martin Luther King peers between the bars of his jail cell at the St. John's County jail here 6/11 shortly after he and other integration demonstrators were arrested on trespassing charges at a local motel. UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL TELEPHOTO." Note that the UPI's caption incorrectly dates the photo to 1962 when, in fact, MLK's arrest during the St. Augustine movement occurred in June 1964. According to a 2011 article in the St. Augustine Record, the St. Johns County Jail building in which King was held is now the county's Detention Center Annex for work release inmates.

Permission
(Reusing this file)
English: No permission is required. The photograph entered the public domain because it was published prior to 1978 without a valid copyright notice. The pre-1989 requirements for copyright notice were highly formalistic and, other than a few enumerated exceptions, required these three elements:
  1. "The symbol © or the word 'Copyright' or the abbreviation 'Copr.' or an acceptable variant such as "(c)";
  2. "The year of first publication for the work"; and
  3. "The name of the copyright owner, or an abbreviation by which the name can be recognized, or a generally known alternative designation of the owner."
Credits like "UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL TELEPHOTO" do not meet these requirements. Additionally, the date provided by UPI is two years off.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
