The King Memorial

"This book is a memoir written by the executive architect of the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial Project. The book provides a behind the scene view of the planning, design and construction decision making process. The book describes a fifteen year journey to define the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. A legacy that will live forever in the minds and souls of Americans. The memorial speaks to the spirit of America -- about who we are as a people, about how far we have come as a nation, about what we hold sacred, about what we believe in, and about what we are willing to die for... in order to preserve and protect -- the Freedom, Democracy, Justice, and Liberty we possess as citizens of this great country"--
