Martin Luther King Jr., Yolanda Renee King, right, and artist Saya Woolfalk, left, attend during the dedication of the Coretta Scott King Peace and Meditation Garden and monument on Thursday, April 27, 2023, in Atlanta.
After a program featuring speeches, a poem and musical performances, Bernice King and her niece Yolanda Renee King — the 14-year-old daughter of Martin Luther King III — together untied a ribbon on the gate of the garden and cut another ribbon on the monument. “It’s an immersive environment," Woolfalk said of the work she created."It’s not a representational sculpture. It’s intended to make you feel like you’re in the spirit of Mrs. King. So you walk into the space, and you feel her spirit.”
