Civil Rights Memorial, Civil rights monument in Montgomery, United States
The Civil Rights Memorial consists of a circular black granite table with flowing water, displaying a timeline of significant movement events and names.
The memorial, dedicated in 1989, stands near the church where Martin Luther King Jr. served as pastor during the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
The memorial incorporates the words from Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech on a 40-foot curved granite wall beneath flowing water.
The memorial plaza remains accessible throughout the day, while the center requires advance online reservations and closes during major holidays.
Designer Maya Lin created a water feature that flows over carved names of 40 individuals who lost their lives during the civil rights movement.
