Choosing my sites of study in Washington, DC, I decided to focus how the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s left a mark on the city. It has been commemorated in two strikingly different ways in the most symbolic space, the National Mall, through an inscription for the “I Have a Dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and through a stand-alone memorial to one of its most prolific leaders in the Martin Luther King Junior National Memorial (henceforth referred to as the MLK Memorial). As different as these memorials are, they both include more than just the structures themselves.

摘要

Choosing my sites of study in Washington, DC, I decided to focus how the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s left a mark on the city. It has been commemorated in two strikingly different ways in the most symbolic space, the National Mall, through an inscription for the “I Have a Dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and through a stand-alone memorial to one of its most prolific leaders in the Martin Luther King Junior National Memorial (henceforth referred to as the MLK Memorial). As different as these memorials are, they both include more than just the structures themselves.
