Week of events planned for unveiling of King memorial - The Washington Post: The foundation building Washington’s new national memorial to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. is planning four days of events and an Aug. 28 dedication, which could be attended by as many as 250,000 people, the foundation announced Thursday.
The dedication is scheduled to take place on the 48th anniversary of the day King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial, just northwest of the spot on the Tidal Basin where the new memorial is being erected.
