Sculptor Ed Dwight, who created the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, speaks to the media in front of the memorial dedicated to King and other civil rights leaders during a news conference on Thursday, Feb. 22, 2024, at City Park in Denver, days after the memorial was vandalized. Former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb and former First Lady Wilma Webb condemned the vandalism of the Martin Luther King Jr.
A Colorado state representative from 1980 to 1993, Wilma Webb sponsored legislation to designate King’s birthday as a state holiday before it was federally recognized. Additionally, when Wellington Webb was Denver’s mayor in 2000, he and Wilma Webb helped establish the memorial in Denver’s City Park.“This location needs to have lights around it, it also needs to have video cameras,” Wellington Webb said.
