A bust of Martin Luther King Jr. by the American artist John Woodrow Wilson is located at the United States Capitol rotunda in Washington, D.C.
The bust depicts Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in a contemplative and peaceful mood, looking slightly downward, patinated to match the black marble base.[1]
The bust was unveiled in the Rotunda on January 16, 1986, by Dr. King's wife Coretta, their four children, and Dr. King's sister, Christine King Farris.[1]
