The Martin Luther King, Jr. Living Memorial in Anchorage, AK is a community-driven initiative that aims to honor the legacy of Dr. King and inspire visitors to reflect on his message and mission. Through the collaboration of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Living Memorial Committee and the Anchorage Park Foundation, funds were raised to rehabilitate and revitalize the memorial, which includes bronze panels describing Dr. King's accomplishments, a brick plaza, and a bust of Dr. King.
After years of weathering and vandalism, the memorial was restored using public and private funds, reflecting Anchorage's commitment to honoring Dr. King's memory. The Living Memorial Committee, comprised of community members, played a crucial role in the restoration process, ensuring that the memorial continues to serve as a symbol of unity and inspiration for the Anchorage community.
