Martin Luther King, Jr. Statue

On the Main Street pedestrian mall in downtown Riverside (3900 Main St.) is a statue of the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. with a young girl and boy.  It is labeled underneath with "I HAVE A DREAM", a reference to one of his most famous and inspirational speeches.  The statue was made by Lisa Reinertson in 1999.  It is part of the peace walk of prominent civil rights leaders along the pedestrian mall. A video of memorials on the civil right walk has recently been made by the City of Riverside.
