Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial To Be Dedicated In D.C.
WASHINGTON -- This Sunday, Aug. 28, 2011, marks the 48th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic "I Have a Dream" speech. It's also the dedication day for his memorial in Washington, D.C.
"The memorial to Dr. King is the first on the National Mall to celebrate a man of color, hope and peace," said Harry E. Johnson Sr., president of the MLK National Memorial Foundation.
It's also a monument that has been in the works for some time. In 1996, Congress passed a joint resolution authorizing Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. to build a memorial in Washington, D.C., honoring Dr. King.
In 2006, President George W. Bush joined former President Bill Clinton, members of Congress and an array of civil rights leaders for the memorial's groundbreaking ceremony.
At this Sunday's dedication, President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak.

Thanks. I was just listening to one of his speeches last night -- The Three Dimensions of a Complete Life (4-9-67).

Thanks bruta....

Reading the words of King aquatints you with the content of his speeches. Hearing his voice provides the drama. Do you remember WVON 1450 would play sound bites of his speeches before returning to playing music?

Peace!

 

[Enki]

That voice was like no other.

Peace!

Dr King was executed by the state for taking a stance
for the poor
for peace on earth
and union rights and respect

therefore what would he say to the president about those things,
if he was alive today?
