Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorials Around the World [SLIDESHOW]

Sunday marked what would have been the 83rd birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. The civil rights leader was commemorated last August with the opening of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in Washington D.C., the culmination of over two decades of planning. Although it is the most visible memorial of King, there have been a diverse number of tributes to him throughout the world, ranging from literal portrayals to more abstract pieces.
