A tall sculpture of King on a slanted pedestal. King is wearing a suit with his right hand over his heart, and his left hand by his side. A plaque at the base reads: " The dreamer dreams do come true ...In memory of a great american ... 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.
Stand tall, 0 dreamer ... Your legacy remains in perpetuity ... It shall come to pass that people of all races, creeds, and nationalities will join hands in peace and brotherhood and sing "Free at last.. Free at last . . .Thank God almighty... We are free at last.-"
