Inauguration 2013: Our Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial!




On one of the days we visited DC, my godmother and I spent a day together, walking and visiting memorials.  We visited the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial and it was packed with happy people.  They were there to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Rev. King's "I have a Dream" speech and the second inauguration of President Obama.  We had a very festive morning at this moving memorial.  And then what was exciting was that we discovered that every quote engraved along the memorial's facades are direct quotes, except for a single paraphrased one which was so controversial that it's going to be removed!  So, we got to see it before it's forever obliterated from its surfaces!
