The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in Washington DC represents King being the rock of hope coming out of the mountain of despair. One unique fact about this statue is that it's 24 feet tall and is the tallest statue in Washington DC. This is unique because the statue of freedom was 19.5 feet and no other statue exceeded that height at the time.
When MLK was living, blacks and whites couldn't do anything together, so MLK wanted to change that. He wanted to make every man equal. After he gave his speech at Lincoln's Memorial he succeeded, and blacks and whites could share the same things. The MLK memorial is a very important memorial that encourages visitors to remember King, as well as the importance of fairness and equality.
