Public gets first glimpse of Rev. King Jr. memorial - CTV News <- Click here to read the article. The entire memorial invokes the memory and spiritual presence of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. through the visual experience of place, reinforced by the full range of sensory perception, the metaphorical use of water, stone and other landscape elements, the powerful display of passages from his sermons and speeches and the appearance of his physical image in the "Stone of Hope". I cannot wait to visit the nation's capital to see this wonderful memorial. Here is a picture of the memorial. Journalists toured the new Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial three hours before the general public was given access to the newest memorial on the National Mall August 22, 2011 in Washington, DC. Fifteen years after Congress authorized the memorial, the 30-foot-tall statue of the American civil rights pioneer will be dedicated on August 28, the 48th anniversary of King’s historic “I Have A Dream” speech. I need to book a trip back up to DC soon!
