In the year 2001, artist Roberto Salas installed Dream along San Diego's Martin Luther King Jr. Promenade in the U.S. state of California. The work includes five bronze hand sculptures.
The sculptures are one of several commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. along the promenade, which also includes Melv Edwards' Breaking of the Chains and Shedding the Cloak by Jerry and Tama Dumlao and Mary Lynn Dominguez.
The bronze hands celebrate the spirit of Dr. King's vision as they silently yet boldly speak to us with the symbols of sign language. Collectively they spell one word that symbolizes hope and idealism, reaching deep into the pock.
