Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial
Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial
The Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial in Washington, D.C. was designed as a lasting tribute to Dr. King’s national and international contributions and vision for all to enjoy a life of freedom, opportunity, and justice. The centerpiece of the memorial is a 30-foot statue of Dr. King. His likeness is carved into the Stone of Hope, which emerges powerfully from two large boulders. The two boulders, which started as one, represent the Mountain of Despair. Text from this speech is cut sharply into the Stone of Hope. It is the first major memorial along the National Mall to be dedicated to an African-American, and to a non-president. (U.S. Army photo by Cynthia Mitchell). Original public domain image from Flickr
