The Crossroads Memorial will be built at the intersection of South LBJ and MLK drives in San Marcos.
According to the city, the intersection is the only known crossroads named for the two men who worked together on the 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
Hussey's design also was the unanimous recommendation of the San Marcos Arts Commission, the Parks and Recreation board and the Crossroads Selection Committee.
