The cross stands as a reminder of the way Jesus lived, not merely the way he died, King said. The cross calls us to action. The cross expresses a commitment to the faith that God would go to any length to “restore a broken community.” The cross promises that the whole world will one day be free and “segregation will one day die … And this is the hope that can keep us going and keep us from getting frustrated as we walk along the way of life.”
