Description
The Stone of Hope is a granite sculpture by Lei Yixin, part of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington D.C., spanning four acres of land in West Potomac Park.
The inspiration for the memorial design is a line from King's "I Have A Dream" speech: "Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope". The memorial opened to the public on August 22nd, 2011, after more than two decates of planning, funding and construction.
Although this is not the first memorial to an African American in Washington, D.C., King is the first African American honored with a memorial on or near the National Mall and only the fourth non-President to be memorialized in such a way.
