Monumental He Was, Monumental He Is

Today, we celebrate both Martin Luther King, Jr. and the sculpture artist who memorialized him - Lei Yixin. Both men walked in the light.

“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness. ” MLK

Lei Yixin (born 1954) is the prominent Chinese sculptor who designed the Stone of Hope, the statue of Martin Luther King Jr. at the King Memorial near the United States National Mall.
