Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington, DC
The Martin Luther King Jr. memorial project is the brainchild of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the nations oldest Black fraternity, of which King was a member. The Martin Luther King memorial (to be located on a 4 acre site on the Tidal Basin) is in dire need of money. No person of color has ever been honored there. The Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial Foundation was to raise $100 million by the 2003 deadline. But nowhere near that amount in the coffers by then, so Congress extended the deadline three years, until November 2006.
Courtland Malloy (Washington Post) says if all African-Americans gave $5, the monument to King would be done with millions to spare. You even get a "Building the Dream" wristband.
Spread the word. We can do this. We owe it to Dr. King. Here is the website: www.buildthedream.org
