CAPTION ONLY: MEMORIAL HONORS CIVIL RIGHTS MARTYRS

The black granite monument, above, includes the names of 40 people who died fighting for civil rights between the Supreme Court's 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education decision and King's assassination in 1968. Participants at the memorial service were urged by King's son to continue fighting for racial equality and higher literacy among blacks. "Just because we can go to the movie house and the Capitol City Club, the struggle is not over," Martin Luther King III told 5,000 who attended the ceremony. "Nearly 60 million Americans cannot read or write," he said. "Our greatest challenge is that you and I have the ability to change that." In 1955, King organized the Montgomery bus boycott after Rosa Parks, considered the mother of the civil rights movement, refused to give up her seat to a white man. "Had Mrs. Parks not sat down that day, maybe you and I would not be here today," King's son observed.
