Quilt
Beautiful quilt. Dark and light brown intertwined for the border. The pictures are very bright and contain many colors. Rough to the touch, rather then soft.Red border containing the whole of the quilt. Words such as “peace”, “dignity” and “freedom” are found on the border, just after the red outline. Words are a trapezoid shape. The pictures are in octagons; some in square shaped borders. Located in the Rosa Parks exhibit found inside Freedom Hall, King Center.
Piano
A greenish white color with a tree painted down the middle-front. Piano seems to be very well kept. The keys are a pinkish white color, rather than pure white. A purple flower appearing at the top left corner, right next to a yellow music book. Made out of some wood material, quite possibly oak, the piano itself seems to be apart of the whole, and not some external feature separate from the frame. Located outside Freedom Hall, King Center (outside).
Crypt
The tomb is square and rests in the middle of the reflecting pool. The outside perimeter of the monument seems to be filthy, making it appear almost black. The words are clearly written. The material seems to be made out of marble, or some granite. The tomb itself sits on top of what appears to be a marble slab, equally dirty as the tomb itself where streaks of black taints a beautiful gray. Located in the King Center (outside).
Eternal Flame
The “Eternal Flame”; The flame burns a beautiful orange color, a color that seems to just radiate heat. However, despite the colors connotation, and the close proximity in which I stood, no heat was felt. The flame itself is surrounded by a bundle of coal, giving off the illusion that it is powered by coal. However, that is not the case, beneath the coal appears to be some type of burner, keeping the flame alive. The flame is surrounded by roses of different colors; red, white, and pink, creating a loving feel almost, it just brings the whole thing together.The flame and all is encased in some sort of copper bowl. Located in the King Center (outside).
