Dedicated on October 16,
2011, the Martin Luther King,
Jr. Memorial on the National
Mall is a lasting tribute to the
civil rights legend. This
30-foot granite statue is
the memorial's centerpiece.
On one side, text of King's
famous 1963 speech is carved
into the rock: "Out of the
mountain of despair, a stone
of hope."
