Experience the inspirational, fascinating, and insightful, story—related by the internationally-recognized artist, Patrick Morelli--illustrating his creation of the ten-foot, bronze, “Roots”-inspired “Behold” monument honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Behold" overlooks Dr. King’s tomb at the King National Historical Park in Atlanta, Georgia. A memorable, profoundly personal, ten-year odyssey related by the artist who worked with Dr. King’s father (“Daddy” King), Mrs. Coretta Scott King, Hon. John Lewis, and Alex Haley to create, independently, a permanent, historically-significant tribute to Dr. King. “Behold” is viewed, annually, by over 1,000,000 American and foreign visitors. "Behold" images and the artist's portfolio can be viewed on the his visual arts website, www.MorelliART.com and instagram.com/morelliartny/
