will look upon completion.
A combination of inscribed
granite walls and green space
areas will surround the “Moun
tain of Despair” leading to the
“Stone of Hope” and the impos
ing statute of Dr. King.
. Under the gray skies of Wash
ington, D.C. with scaffolding sur
rounding it, the statute seems
ready to step forward out of the
stone encasing it.
“The Memorial is a memorial
to a man who was a citizen of the
world whose messages of de
mocracy, justice, hope and love
transcended racial barriers and
resonated around the globe,” stated
Johnson. “This was confirmed
when he was honored with the
Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.”
Johnson said that the
fundraising for the Memorial has
not met its goal stating, “We
have not met our fundraising
goals, but the Memorial project
is moving ahead as scheduled.
We hope that each American
and those around the world will
make a contribution towards the
completion of this Memorial. Dr.
King touched lives on an inter
national level and we know that
in the end, those who believed in
his words and actions will con
tribute to his Memorial.”
