Made of solid granite, the monument depicts the Mountain of Despair out of which the Stone of Hope has been cut. The figure of Dr. King has been carved from the Stone, standing in quiet reflection. The gap left within the Mountain allows the visitor a clear view of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, connecting King's work to secure freedom for all to the legacy of the founding fathers. Around the memorial there is a wall of quotes, representing Dr. King’s ideals of hope, democracy and love, flanking the Mountain of Despair and encircling the Stone of Hope.
