This monument was erected and dedicated by the grateful citizens of San Bernardino, the all-american city, with the approval of the mayor and common council. The martin l. King, jr., statue committee was established for the expressed and single purpose of raising funds. Many individuals and organizations rallied to the cause. On November 8, 1981, this statue, sculptured by Julian Martinez Soto, was unveiled before thousands of residents and visitors. The event was hailed as San Bernardino's finest hour. Long live this symbol of a legend of non-violent revolution that changed the course of american history.
