Gear addition to the national mall. I loved that they wrote some of MLK's quotes all around the place. The idea is very cleaver too. So glad that I saw that.

What a beautiful piece of art this memorial is! And if you don't understand the concept of this statue, read into the sentence on his right; it's all there. Those memorials a bit like the "best of" what that person said and done. In this case, there was plenty to read, little sentences full of wisdom. It doesn't take more... More

It is a beautiful memorial, and a nice addition to the National Mall. We visited at night and it was beautiful light up. If you don't have time, you can miss this, but if you have an extra 20 minutes or so, its worth the visit.

we missed the unveiling last year so we made an effort to visit this year , the experience did not let us down .we walked from what we thought was a really good site the FDR memorial ,to see the very clever monument cut in a very significant cutout statue the words around the site says it all!!
