About the Monument 

The Martin Luther King Memorial, by Dari Artist, expresses her views and feelings on Civil Rights through sculpture and painting. The Lac Du Bonnet Pillar (coral colored granite) stands for equality, freedom of speech, unity and democracy. The base is made of Mesabi Black Granite, which is also featured in other projects, including the Wall of Remembrance at Eagle Circle.

The Raven Black monument stands for the Rainbow coalition, and Dr. King’s dignity, teachings and strength. This piece honors the memory of Dr. King and those who have been brave enough to stand on behalf of the people to demand their rights.
