The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial was dedicated in Washington, D.C. yesterday (10/16/2011). I’m writing about this event since Dr. King has been one of my heroes. He fought for freedom in America and is a symbol of standing up, in a non-violent way, for what is right.
I was surprised to see a sculpture so stubborn, almost angry with crossed arms and a slightly furrowed brow, in a Stone of Hope when I always thought of Dr. King as a beacon of hope, more like a lighthouse or the eternal flame at President John F. Kennedy’s Memorial (see Washington Post MLK Memorial picture). I thought I would see something like Dr. King giving the I Have A Dream speech, showing the great orator passionately insisting that each person act, through non-violence, to uphold freedom and justice for all people (see MLK I Have A Dream picture).
Thanks for another great article. Where else may anybody get that type of info in such a perfect manner of writing? I’ve a presentation subsequent week, and I’m at the look for such info.
Sorry Kid Rock, you’ll need to keep searching for that perfect presentation. The best feeling comes from writing how you feel on your own. Lay your heart out there. Give it a shot.
Tremendous things here. I am very happy to see your article. Thanks a lot and I am looking forward to contact you. Will you please drop me a mail?
