This week’s
#ThrowbackThursday comes from April 1975, when sculptor
#SergioCastillo was welding some of the final pieces onto his
#sculpture, Free at Last. Inspired by the memorable words of Martin Luther King, Jr. (GRS’55, Hon.’59) during his “I Have a Dream” speech, the sculpture stands at the heart of
#MarshPlaza and depicts 50 doves to symbolize peace in each of the 50 states. From afar, it appears as if the birds merge to form the outline of a single dove reaching toward the sky.
