THE MISSION OF THE FAYETTEVILLE/CUMBERLAND COUNTY DR. MARTIN L. KING, JR. (FCCMLK) COMMITTEE, INC.

The FCCMLK Committee seeks to conceptualize the memorial of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with the further development of the FCCMLK Memorial Park. This quiet and receptive space located at 739 Blue Street, Fayetteville, NC, occupying the statue of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. will become a more powerful representation of the importance of nonviolence ideologies. In additional, it will become an emotionally evocative park, reflecting the spirit of the message Dr. King delivered and the role he and others like him play in our society. The mission remains that of constructing the FCCMLK Memorial Park and upon visitation “no one shall enter and leave unchanged.”
FCCMLK, as an organization, provides an association of individuals who are interested in promoting goodwill and mutual respect among all people of all races and ethnicities. Annually the Committee hold celebrations to honor and support the principles of Dr. King’s teachings and philosophical beliefs. Our immediate future goal encompasses the establishment of a park and other grounds, buildings and places of commemoration, contemplation, spiritual and personal growth and development to honor Dr. Martin L. King, Jr., and his lessons, legacy, nonviolent philosophy and advocacy for social and racial justice.
The FCCMLK Memorial Park will embody the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is envisioned as a quiet and receptive space –yet. at the same time, – powerful and emotionally evocative reflecting the spirit of the message Dr. King delivered and the role he and others, like him play in our society. Events will be presented that will engage the audience, creating within the viewer, a dialogue that transcends.
