Monuments: Beaty & Memorial (MLK Day)





Monuments are usually buildings to do in remembrance of a person or significant event that has become significant to society or a social group and is part of history because of how beautiful and how it represents a beautiful sensational part of our history.Personally I love monuments and everything they represent. Some in particular I love is the MLK memorial. The memorial commemorates the year that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 became a law.
The first thing you see is a huge statue of Martin Luther King Jr. And on the side is a quote that caused a lot of controversy : " I was a drum major for justice, peace, and rightousness".  In the back of the statue is a hill split into two. You walk in between the split hill and there is a semi-circle wall filled with quotes by MLK.

    This is a good example of an interesting memorial that we can compare with the Vietnam memorial at Washington DC. Thanks.
