BuildTheDream.org: 42nd Anniversary of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's Death

"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity"

Those words were spoken by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and this month marks the 42nd anniversary of his death.

Word comes to us from Lowell Dempsey of BuildTheDream.org of efforts underway to commemorate the life and work of Dr. King by creating a memorial in our nation's capital. The Washington, DC, Martin Luther King, Jr., National Memorial will honor his life and contributions to the world through non violent social change.

Lowell Dempsey has put together this blogger-friendly micro-site to help get the message out featuring videos, photos, banners, and even a web toolbar that, when used, donates money to the creation of the memorial: http://mlkmemorialnews.org

After years of fund raising, the memorial is now $14 million away from its $120 million goal. This will be more than a monument to a great humanitarian. The National Memorial will be a place for visitors from around the world to share the spirit of love, freedom, and peace.
