Reginald Owens, a retired Marine and the present publicity chair for the North County branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, addresses community members gathered to witness the unveiling of two art pieces in Oceanside, Calif., Feb. 25. The two art pieces are part of 14 “King Sculptures” now on display along Mesa Boulevard, near the Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School. They were originally put in place 11 years ago but since then, 12 of them sustained significant damage and two went missing.
“We sent out letters to sponsors to raise the money to restore the 12 pieces and replace the other two,” Owens said. “There was tremendous support by the community. In the last council meeting we named this corridor after Dr. King. This is a prime example of how the community, the city and government officials come together for the benefit of the city.”
