The competition challenges entrants to design a "living memorial" encompassing Dr. King’s spirituality, his leadership and his personal sacrifice in the movement for social justice and his message of hope for all humanity. Sited on the Mall of the Capital City of the United States, the Memorial is inspired by three major themes - the Man, the Movement, the Message. Collectively, these three themes provide guidance and illumination for the international design community. Check this Web site often for design competition updates.
