Sometime next year Martin Luther King, Jr. will likely become more visible, more available, one might say, to millions more Americans. For that is when the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial is scheduled to open on a four-acre site along the Tidal Basin on the National Mall. It will be in close proximity to memorials to three of America’s most revered presidents: adjacent to the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial and on a direct line between the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials.
The site is just under half prepared now. But the spectacular vision of the King Memorial is fully complete, as these renderings from the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Foundation Project show.
