MLK Sculpture in Huger Park
The city unveiled a new sculpture honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at Dr. James Huger Park. The memorial features a bronze bust mounted on a concrete base, positioned to face Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The sculpture serves as a lasting tribute, offering inspiration to both pedestrians and drivers. Residents can visit the park from sunrise to 10 p.m. seven days a week.
The project was funded through American Rescue Plan Act dollars allocated by Zone 3 City Commissioner Quanita May.
