'U' alumni honored for design of Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial

4

Chaffers on Friday for their
instrumental roles in the design
and production of the memorial,
in addition to their contribution
to the ideals put forward by King
himself. Jackson served as execu-
tive architectof the memorial and
Chaffers, a professor emeritus in
the College of Architecture and
Urban Planning, served as senior
design juror.
Moderated by Milton Curry,
associate dean of the College of
Architecture and Urban Plan-
ning, the event consisted of a
question-and-answer session
among a panel of scholars from
the University and the area. The
panel members discussed the,
moral and ethical implications of
converting King's ideology into a
concrete structure.
According to the panelists, a
discussion regarding the lack of
markers on the National Mall
showing African Americans'
contribution to the country led
to the creation of the memorial,
which was originally conceived
in 1983 and was dedicated on
Oct. 16. Honoring King was a
logical choice, but exactly how
to commemorate his vision for
international peace and justice
was unclear.
"We knew that Dr. King was
a person of many facets," Chaf-
fers said. "Even today we still
have yet to comprehend and cap-
ture the magnitude of Dr. King's
mind."
Using a famous line from

King's 1963 speech, "out of the
mountain of despair a stone of
hope," the architectural team
decided to visually render his
words. The monument displays
King on a stone that appears to
be extracted from a giantboulder
- a physical 30-foot tall stone of
hope "out of the mountain of
despair" King surmounted dur-
ing his life. Jackson said Chi-
nese sculptor Lei Yixin wished
to portray King as a "warrior
for peace" by having him jut out
of the stone as a soldier might
charge into battle.
Jackson said the design-
ers wanted the monument not
simply to be representative of
a man from the past, but rather
to remind visitors of King's key
values in the form of a "living
memorial."
"We move beyond looking at
Dr. King as a civil rights leader,"
he said. "This should be a memo-
rial for a global leader for peace
that captures his four main
themes: justice, democracy, hope
and love."
The panelists also noted the
broader cultural ramifications
the memorial has for Washing-
ton, D.C. and the country. Tour-
ists from around the world who
visit the National Mall will now
see King in the context in which
he belongs, adjacent to the best-
known American leaders and
patriots, said Jon Onye Lockard,
artist and adjunct senior lecturer
in the Department of Afroameri-

can and African Studies.
"King stands next to Lincoln,
Jefferson and the Washington
Monument," Lockard said. 'We
sometimes forget about things
like who built D.C. and slave
labor. But these things are part
of our history. And when people
look at the memorial they will
not see it standing alone. This
will help bring out people's
humanity."
For Jackson and Chaffers,
King's message is one thatshould
never be forgotten, one as impor-
tant as the civil rights movement
itself.
"This nponument is as much
about America as it is about Dr.
King," Jackson said in an inter-
view after the event.
The monument and its natural
surroundings will remind visi-
tors to renew their commitment
to King's goals every.year, Jack-
son said during the panel. The
memorial team planted an addi-
tional 182 cherry blossoms to the
Tidal Basin's collection.,
"Our children will go on their
eighth grade school trips to D.C.
and see King next to Lincoln and
Jefferson," Kelly Quinn, director
and chief curator of the Museum
of Contemporary Art Detroit,
said during the discussion. "The
memorial is going to be in kids'
Facebook photos. People will fall
in love under the memorial. It'sa
living monument and all sorts of
life will happen under that mon-
ument."

The Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial was unveiled in Washington D.C. earlier this month.

Carved from granite, the Mar-
tin Luther King, Jr. National

Memorial stands on the National
Mall in Washington, D.C., the
site of King's historic 1963 "I
Have a Dream" speech. King's
image looms powerfully over the
northwest corner of the Tidal
Basin - the same spot where
each spring cherry blossoms
blanket the basin in a sea of pink
and white.
Though the pink and white

blossoms may continue to frame
the memorial for years to come,
the memorial would never have
come to fruition without the
hard work and dedication of two
men representing the maize and
blue of the University.

ble being the House Republican
Plan for America's Job Creators.
The plan includes reductions in
federal spending and revisions to
the tax code and patent system.
"Right now, the Republican
Party is an economic nightmare
for this country, and Eric Can-
tor is number two leadership in
the Republican Party," Schewel
said. "... He has a very large mega-

phone with which to spread his
misinformation about the eco-
nomic policies that he's propos-
ing around the country."
LSA senior Amanda Caldwell,
chair of the University's chapter
of College Democrats, said her
group hasn't been involved in
planning the protest, but some
members of the College Demo-
crats will be participating.
"We're supportive of protest-
ing Eric Cantor's political ideol-
ogy and his inability to lead any
sort of movement to get bills

passed or get people worling
Caldwell said.
LSA junior Brian Koziara,
external vice chair of the Univer-
sity's chapter of College Repub-
licans, said the organization is
making efforts to support Can-
tor's visit.
"We're encouraging (our
members) to go and get tickets,"
Koziara said. "We'd like the audi-
ence at the event to be friendly,
and we really think that a lot of
Republicans can get fired up by
what he has to say."
