The Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial is a memorial scheduled to be dedicated on Washington, D.C.'s National Mall on August 28, 2011, the 48th anniversary of King's "I Have a Dream" speech.
It will be located adjacent to the FDR Memorial, between the Lincoln Memorial and Jefferson Memorial, and will honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's national and international contributions to the American dream—a dream he spoke of in terms of possibility and hope—and its pillars of freedom, democracy, and opportunity for all.
On Saturday, August 27th, Rev. Al Sharpton and the National Action Network are holding a march and rally. They will be marching from the Lincoln Memorial to the King Memorial----from the emancipator to the liberator.
Dr. Fulani's All Stars Project will be there as a co-sponsor of the March and Dr. Fulani will be speaking. Rev. Sharpton wants to make a statement about where Dr. King and the movement he lead came from---that movement came from the poor, the dispossessed, and the maladjusted. That is also where the All Stars comes from.
