‘Legacy in Motion’ Carries the Dream Forward – A Sculpture by George Gadson Studios
The 17-foot sculpture symbolizes renewal and resilience in the Glenwood community, part of a $21 million center replacing the original lost to Hurricane Michael.
- On January 16, 2026, George Gadson Studios unveiled the Legacy in Motion sculpture at the grand opening of the 30,000-square-foot, $21 million Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Recreation Center in Panama City, Florida.
- After Hurricane Michael destroyed the original center in 2018, a FEMA–Panama City partnership rebuilt the site, restoring a vital facility for the Glenwood Community after more than seven years.
- The sculpture combines the Sankofa Bird and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s profile, fusing the Sankofa Bird motif with a dignified profile to symbolize carrying legacy forward in Glenwood.
- Programming at the center will serve residents of all ages with education, creative expression, workforce preparation and personal development, supported by basketball courts and a STEM lab with 3D printers.
- The studio described the work as ensuring legacy remains visible, and the announcement was issued via a Jan. 28, 2026 Send2Press Newswire release representing George Gadson Studios.
