Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial

The eight and one-half feet tall statue depicts King with his right hand raised as if giving a speech. He is standing behind and reaching over a balustrade with a set of opened shackles at his feet. The statue stands on a two feet high platform made of brick and black granite with quotations from King’s speeches incised into the granite.

 

Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?

— Martin Luther King Jr.
