Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial
WASHINGTON (July 19, 2011) -- At the entry portal of the Martin Luther King Jr., Memorial, two stones are parted and a single stone is pushed forward appearing as the missing piece of what was once a single boulder. On the one side, the theme of hope is presented, with the text from King's 1963 speech cut sharply into the stone: "With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope." On the other side are inscribed these words: "Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream." To commemorate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the creation of a memorial to honor his national and international contributions to world peace through non-violent social change is happening in Washington, DC. Located in West Potomac Park, the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial looks to perform an official dedication on Sunday, August 28, 2011, the 48th anniversary of the March on Washington and Dr. King's historic I Have A Dream speech.
