描述 | Exploring the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial (King Memorial) in Washington, DC through a multi-faceted rhetorical analysis of the site‘s visual and textual components, Jefferson Walker reveals multiple critical, popular, privileged, and vernacular interpretations of the site and Dr. Martin Luther King‘s memory. Walker argues that the King Memorial and its related texts help to universalize and institutionalize King‘s ethos - creating a contentious rhetorical battleground where various people and organizations contest the "ownership" and use of King‘s memory. Walker uses these analyses to uncover how the site contributes to the public memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. |
