Description: In 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed into law a bill creating a national holiday to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. To mark the fifteen-year fight for the national holiday, McDonald’s Corporation installed Hunt’s welded-bronze From the Sea at its global headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois. The sculpture, inspired by Dr. King’s 1956 sermon “The Death of Evil upon the Seashore,” memorializes the biblical parting of the Red Sea. As King preached, “There is a Red Sea in history that ultimately comes to carry the forces of goodness to victory, and that same Red Sea closes in to bring doom and destruction to the forces of evil.” Richard Hunt From the Sea, 1983 Welded bronze, 71 × 45 × 64 in.
