“She was a galvanizer, a coalition builder, a master strategist, a champion for inclusion, a brave and selfless servant. A pioneer for peace. A warrior for the disenfranchised and marginalized.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Saya Woolfalk, Artist:
“It's an immersive environment. It's not a representational sculpture. It's intended to make you feel like you're in the spirit of Mrs. King, right? So, you walk into the space and you feel her spirit. One of the things that really was very important to me is that it is sacred ground.”

STORYLINE:
A new monument and garden celebrating and honoring the legacy of civil rights activist Coretta Scott King was dedicated on Thursday, which would have been her 96th birthday.

The Coretta Scott King Peace and Meditation Garden and monument sits on the grounds of The King Center in Atlanta, which she founded in 1968 to memorialize the life, work, legacy and commitment to nonviolence of her husband, slain civil rights leader the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

After a program featuring speeches, a poem and musical performances, Bernice King and her niece Yolanda Renee King — the 14-year-old daughter of Martin Luther King III — together untied a ribbon on the gate of the garden and cut another ribbon on the monument.

The monument was commissioned by Hulu as part of its “Made By Her: Monuments” project, which aims to chip away at the gender disparities in public art.
