A small but striking circular plaza in front of the Southern Poverty Law Center, designed by Maya Lin. Water flows over the names of forty-one people killed during the civil rights movement between 1954 and 1968 — the years bracketed by the Brown v. Board decision and King's assassination — and over a curving wall inscribed with King's biblical paraphrase.
It's a five-minute visit, but worth pairing with the SPLC's small adjacent Civil Rights Memorial Center, which expands on the stories of the people named on the disc.
