Journey of Hope

Journey of Hope is a striking example of how public art can inspire and uplift communities. Cecilia Lueza’s sculpture is more than an artistic centerpiece; it’s a beacon of hope and progress, symbolizing our collective aspiration for a future filled with equality and opportunity. A public space has been created for the sculpture on the south side of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard between the north and southbound lanes of Veronica S. Shoemaker Boulevard.
