On August 28, 2011, a 30 foot statue will be unveiled of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. a champion of the people and civil rights leader.
He was a true civil rights activist who fought tirelessly in his efforts to provide equality and freedom for African-Americans and all human beings. His impassioned campaigning for the civil rights lead to the ending of racial segregation, discrimination and laws that supported racial inequality.
The Rev. Dr. Martin L. King Jr., in 1964 became the youngest person ever to receive the distinguished Nobel Peace Prize for his accomplishments using non-violent methods to end racism in the United States.
After twenty-five years of congressional lobbying and hard work, Dr. King's memorial will be the first memorial on the National Mall to honor a man of color, and non- U.S. President.
The monument, etched in stone, will contain excerpts of his historical speeches, sermons and public addresses to serve as a living testament of his vision of American democracy and freedom for all.
As an American, this is a proud moment, "The Stone of Hope", a 30 foot statue, will remind everyone that this slain civil rights leader, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. died in effort to protect our liberties and freedoms. His memory serves as a reminder that the rights provided in The Constitution of the United States and The Declaration of Independence is for all people.
