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.Palgrave Studies in Cultural Heritage and Conflict,2634-6419United States—Study and teachingCultural heritageCivilization—HistoryAmerican Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411010Cultural Heritagehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/419000Cultural Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000Washington (D.C.)Buildings, structures, etcWashington (D.C.)fastUnited States—Study and teaching.Cultural heritage.Civilization—History.American Culture.Cultural Heritage.Cultural History.306.0973Walker Jeffersonauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1062427BOOK9910332461303321King Returns to Washington2525630UNINA
