Civil Rights Memorial In Montgomery Alabama Honors Martin Luther King Jr. Editorial Image

The Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery Alabama - created by Vietnam Veterans Memorial designer Maya Lin, the Memorial is located across the street from the Southern Poverty Law Center`s office building in Montgomery, Alabama, a city rich with civil rights history. A circular black granite table records the names of the martyrs and chronicles the history of the movement in lines that radiate like the hands of a clock. Water emerges from the table`s center and flows evenly across the top. On a curved black granite wall behind the table is engraved Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.`s well-known paraphrase of Amos 5:24 - We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
