This month marks the 42nd anniversary of the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In honor of Dr. King, the clergyman, civil rights leader, and peace activist, a National Memorial is being built in Washington, D.C.
The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial is a scant 16 million dollars away from reaching its funding goal of 120 million dollars. This is a Memorial that will rightly take its place on the National Mall in honor of Dr. King and his ultimate sacrifice in the name of equality and civil rights. The tentative dedication of the Memorial is scheduled for the Fall of 2011.
There are a number of ways to support the Memorial, including direct bequests via the website and text messaging donations. Please visit the MLK website at www.mlkmemorialnews.org and help America honor Dr. King's legacy by making a donation today.
