Plaque in the Park

I noticed this plaque while walking through the park:

The text reads:

THEODORE T. FIELDS, JR.       DAVID L. MARTIN III

AUGUST 20, 1980

TWO FULL BLOSSOMS

FORCED TO DEPART,

TARRIED LONG ENOUGH

TO GATHER OUR HEART.

WRITTEN BY:

PASTOR FRANCE A. DAVIS

AUGUST 1982

SPONSORED BY:
SALT LAKE BRANCH, NAACP

ALBERTA HENRY, PRESIDENT

It's a rather interesting plaque. I thought it unfortunate that it was in such an awkward location, just stuck in the grass in the north-west corner of the park:

When I got home, I looked up the names on the plaque, and found this news story:

Utahns pay tribute to MLK and two killed in racial slayings

I hope other people notice this plaque too. Maybe someday they'll move it to a more visible location.
