October 16, 2011National Mall, Washington, DC
Delayed by weather in August, yesterday under brilliant clear fall skies the MLK Memorial was dedicated. The quote "Out of the Mountain of Despair - A Stone of Hope" by Martin Luther King was visible on the stone ediface behind the podium.
This truly historic day included a Minnesota connection. The Cold Spring Grantite of Cold Spring, Minnesota that helped design the MLK Memorial. A visit to this site allows you to view the dedication ceremony, the history of the memorial and much more.
