Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial

Mission and Vision Statement of the Memorial Project

Mission Statement

To commemorate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by leading a collaborative funding, design, and construction process in the creation of a memorial to honor his national and international contributions to world peace through non-violent social change.

Vision Statement

Dr. King championed a movement that draws fully from the deep well of America's potential for freedom, opportunity, and justice. His vision of America is captured in his message of hope and possibility for a future anchored in dignity, sensitivity, and mutual respect; a message that challenges each of us to recognize that America's true strength lies in its diversity of talents. The vision of a memorial in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. is one that captures the essence of his message, a message in which he so eloquently affirms the commanding tenants of the American Dream — Freedom, Democracy and Opportunity for All; a noble quest that gained him the Nobel Peace Prize and one that continues to influence people and societies throughout the world. Upon reflection, we are reminded that Dr. King's lifelong dedication to the idea of achieving human dignity through global relationships of well being has served to instill a broader and deeper sense of duty within each of us— a duty to be both responsible citizens and conscientious stewards of freedom and democracy.

Cause Announcement from MARTIN LUTHER KING JR NATIONAL MEMORIAL PROJECT

Message from Harry E. Johnson, Sr

I write to you with an urgent matter at hand and am requesting you please respond by September 21st. In September, 2008 the Washington, DC Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation applied for a building permit from the National Park Service. As of today, we have NOT received the building permit. This means that without a permit, we cannot move forward with the project to build Dr. King’s memorial on the National Mall.

We must let our government officials know that we will not back down until we are rightfully given the National Park Service’s permission to begin construction of the memorial.
Friend, I ask that you take just a minute and submit a "call to action" letter to President Barack Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. It is imperative that we let these three key players know about the situation and urge them do everything within their power to secure our building permit.
Please take the "call to action" and send the letters right now. If you can, forward this email to as many friends as you know and encourage them to sign these important "call to actions." We need as much support as we can get!
Sincerely,

Harry E. Johnson, Sr
President & CEO
