"King Memorial"


The dedication of the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial is set for August 28, but controversy lingers over Dr. King’s 30-ft. granite statue.  Though some critics have said it looks too Asian, and some have said the pose is too confrontational, no one has openly complained about the color of the granite.

Perhaps symbolic of Dr. King’s fight for civil rights, the memorial utilized many civil engineers.

Upon hearing about the King Memorial, Larry King said, “But I’m not even dead yet.”
