I was honored to attend the historic dedication of the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on October 16, 2011. It was truly a moving and remarkable event! 

The Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial is the nation's permanent tribute to one of America's greatest leaders, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The speakers at today's dedication included President Barack Obama, several of the late Dr. King's children, and a host of civil rights, labor, religious, business, and educational leaders!  Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder were among the constellation of stellar musical talents who performed in honor of Dr. King!

If you haven't had the opportunity to visit the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial yet, I invite you take this virtual tour:


Employing the force of his personality, the power of his words, and his relentless courage, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped to transform America into a nation which is today more just, more equal, and for free!

What an inspiration it was to attend the historic dedication of the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial! Dr.King's message of love, hope, and justice continues to inspire millions across the country, and around the world today! How fitting that his memorial should be situated on the National Mall reminding us that his Dream still lives, and that each of us has a vital role to play in bringing about its fulfillment!
