CIVIL RIGHTS MEMORIAL
The Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama is a deeply moving monument designed by acclaimed architect Maya Lin and sponsored by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The memorial heavily integrates the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As the focal point of the outdoor plaza, a curved black granite wall features a powerful quote from Dr. King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech, and a circular, asymmetrical black granite table lists the names of 41 martyrs who lost their lives during the Civil Rights Movement between 1954 and 1968.
