Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., National Memorial

This month of April marks the 42nd anniversary of the death of Dr. King and we are commemorating his life and work by creating a memorial in our nation's capital. The Washington, DC, Martin Luther King, Jr., National Memorial will honor his life and contributions to the world through non violent social change.

I've put together this micro-site to help get the message out - there are videos, photos, banners, and even a web toolbar that, when used, donates money to the creation of the memorial:

After many years of fund raising, the memorial is only $14 million away from its $120 million goal. If you are able to post or tweet about this please let me know so I can share it with the team. If you have any questions please pop me an email. And if you are able to help, thank you so much.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

When I visited the Washing-ton Monument in 2006, this is the scene I conjured in my memory. To what better purpose was this spot ever dedicated? But I wonder, has my generation lived up to its promise?
