MLK's I Have a Dream speech begins in the closest lightpost and continues back to the one behind.

Back, right: an American tourist visiting London, Paul Cole struck up a conversation with an officer who was sitting in his police car on the side of the street that day. Cole was waiting for his wife who was in a nearby museum.
In and Amongst: Albert Einstein, Martin Luther King, Jr., Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the astronaut, the Rat Pack, Elvis Presley, the bell hop, the cowboy, the surfers, the Eyes of Texas, and 1963's Queen Scheherazade.
