A memorial project in Charlotte, North Carolina, will honor Martin Luther King Jr. and Holocaust victims in the same space. Organizers describe the plaza as a space for Holocaust remembrance, civil rights education, and Black-Jewish dialogue. The memorial project is called the Circle of Humanity: Monuments for Unity and Remembrance in Marshall Park. The Holocaust memorial component is a sculpture called 'In Transit: The Weight of Absence' by artists David Wilson and Stephen Hayes. One side of the sculpture depicts two people leaning down from an abstract rail car, with outstretched hands reaching toward a family gathered around the car’s opening, and adults on the ground reaching back. The other side of the sculpture features train tracks leading to the entrance of Auschwitz-Birkenau. A message across the top of the sculpture reads, 'They were here. We remember.' The memorial plaza will include the existing 8-foot bronze statue of Martin Luther King Jr. currently in Marshall Park. Organizers believe the plaza is the first in the U.S. to jointly honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Holocaust victims.
