If you were paging through social media on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, you may have caught a glimpse of a particular image that got a lot of shares: it shows King trying to hush a tweeting President Donald Trump.

"Basically the picture is an image of Martin Luther King," says artist Watson Mere. "He's extending his hand out to cover the mouth of our current president while he's tweeting away."

Watson Mere's picture wasn't originally intended to be political.

The Haitian American artist had been developing an image to honor King's birthday in 2017.

"However a week before Martin Luther King Day, it was the inauguration [of Donald Trump], and with the atmosphere ... and everything going on in the news, my spirit just led me to add Trump to the image as well."-
