The Reverend Thomas Starr King memorial can be found at the John F. Kennedy Drive entrance to the Music Concourse. Reverend King, a Unitarian minister, was honored for his efforts to keep California in the Union during the Civil War. The bronze sculpture was created by Daniel Chester French in 1892.


An inscription on the pedestal reads:

IN HIM ELOQUENCE, STRENGTH
AND VIRTUE WERE DEVOTED
WITH FEARLESS COURAGE TO TRUTH,
COUNTRY AND HIS FELLOW MEN
1824-1864
