He fought for the rights of African Americans because of the inequality they faces in the past. The monument being made of white granite does not leave a good taste in people’s mouths because of what he fought for. He was mistreated and disrespected by those who did not agree with him

Formation of Rocks The three main ways rocks are formed: • Sedimentary rocks are formed through the gradual accumulation of sediment: for example‚ sand on a beach or mud on a river bed. As the sediment is buried it is compacted as more and more material is deposited on top. Eventually the sediment will become so dense that it is essentially rock. This process is known as lithification. • Igneous rocks are rocks which have crystallized from a melt or magma. The melt is made up of various components
