Since 2004, the International Civil Rights Walk of Famehas been honoring some of the activists involved in the Civil Rights Movement and civil rights activities. Located at the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site in Atlanta, Georgia, it consists of a promenade that showcases the footstep impressions of those honored, marked in granite and bronze. According to the National Park Service, which runs the historic site, the Walk of Fame was created "to give recognition to those courageous soldiers of justice who sacrificed and struggled to make equality a reality for all."
