Experience one child's rise to greatness at Martin Luther King, Jr. Monument Park. Located at the gateway to Downtown Dublin, Monument Park features a mural by Georgia artist Corey Barksdale depicting a young girl wishing for a better tomorrow and highlighting the need for future generations to carry Dr. King's message of peaceable change onward through the years.
On April 17, 1944, Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his first public speech at historic First African Baptist Church in Dublin, GA. A desire to inspire positive social change was planted in young Martin Luther King, Jr.
This monument preserves not only the historic moment, but inspires other people, young and old, to consider how they can effect social change, bridge social and economic gaps, create links to African American achievement through art and education, inspire social action and unity.
