A large banner displaying a quote by Martin Luther King Jr. is hanging between two tall palm trees in front of a brick building. The quote on the banner reads, 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.' At the base, there is a statue of a man in a uniform, presumably a baseball player, posed as if running or sliding base.
