Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church held its 43rd birthday celebration for the civil rights icon but those in attendance also got a gift themselves; a first look at the statue Of Dr. King that will stand right outside of Kings former church.
City, State and County officials unveiled the renderings to an excited audience. The life-sized statue will be sculpted by Ronald McDowell a sculptor from Tuskegee.
