Dear Friends,

Thank you for visiting the Washington, DC Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation’s Web site. Herein, you will find a wealth of information that will introduce you to one of the most magnanimous projects currently underway in our nation’s Capital; the building of a memorial to commemorate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

One of the most prestigious sites remaining on the National Mall has been selected and approved for the Memorial. The Memorial will capture the essence of
Dr. King’s passion and vision for all to enjoy a life of freedom, opportunity, and justice. As such, it will serve as a stage to honor his national and international contributions to humankind, acknowledging his unbridled teachings for achieving social change through non-violent methods. The Memorial will remind the world of his dedication to the idea of achieving human dignity through global relationships, and instill a sense of duty within each of us to be responsible citizens and conscientious stewards of freedom and democracy.

The magnitude of this endeavor speaks volumes to our commitment to sustaining Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy. His willingness to act on his principles provides the inspiration for us to renew our lives and follow his example. By engaging
Dr. King’s enlarged concept of active citizenship, we are confident that individuals from every sector of society will want to contribute to this noble project.

Please, take a few moments to thoroughly peruse the contents of this Web site. We hope that you will be compelled to join the global community in sharing this moment of history.

Respectfully,

Harry E. Johnson, Sr.
President and CEO
