The Behold Monument in Atlanta, Georgia, commemorates the principles that guided Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and work. Unveiled by Coretta Scott King in 1990, the monument serves as an enduring inspiration for those advocating for dignity, social justice, and human rights.

Sculpted by Patrick Morelli, the monument features a heroic-sized bronze figure of a father raising his infant child to the heavens, symbolizing hope for the future and the love of parents for their children. The artwork is strategically placed to connect with significant sites in the civil rights movement, including Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Dr. King delivered many powerful sermons.
