The primary goals of this artwork are to: Reference meaningful connections between culture, history and the natural world, provide open-ended, creative, and surprising environments that emphasize freedom and discover, and celebrate the spirit, values and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Beloved Community.”
