Martin Luther King Jr Memorial Granite Statue Washington DC United States // WASHINGTON DC, United States — A low-angle perspective captures the carved facial features and crossed arms of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. Sculpted by Lei Yixin and dedicated in 2011, the 30-foot relief is constructed from 159 blocks of Shrimp Pink granite. Titled the "Stone of Hope," the artwork physically manifests a metaphor from King's 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech, depicting the civil rights leader emerging from a larger, split boulder representing the "Mountain of Despair."
