With Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday, Plant Riverside District, also known as Savannah’s Entertainment District, is officially dedicating a park to Martin Luther King, Jr. Located on the Savannah riverfront, Plant Riverside District will hold a ceremony to unveil a commissioned bronze monument dedicated to the late Civil Rights leader.

 

The event takes place Saturday, Jan. 15, 2022, 2–3:15 p.m. at Plant Riverside District Martin Luther King, Jr. Park. The event is free and open to the public and will feature gospel performances by the Mass Choir of St. Paul CME Church and the Savannah State University Wesleyan Gospel Choir.

 

This event will mark not only the first park in Savannah but also the first monument in the city dedicated to the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. Supported by The Kessler Collection, Georgia Power Foundation and the City of Savannah, the bronze monument was approved by the King family.

 

Using his background in anatomy studies at the Art Students League of New York and the School of Visual Arts in New York City, acclaimed sculptor Franco Castelluccio designed and created the monument. The monument will feature a moving inscription on a stately granite base.

 

Notable people in attendance at the event will include Dr. Naomi King, sister-in-law of Martin Luther King, Jr.; Savannah Mayor Van Johnson; former Savannah Mayor Edna Jackson; Chatham County Commission chairman Chester Ellis; Georgia State Representative Carl Gilliard; and Kessler Collection chairman and CEO Richard C. Kessler.
