Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial

  Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial sits prominently on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., adjacent to the Tidal Basin. Established in 2011, this site honors the legacy of civil rights leader Dr. King with a powerful stone carving standing 30 feet tall. The memorial features the symbolic "Stone of Hope," from which Dr. King's figure emerges, reflecting his commitment to equality and justice. Visiting in April offers a chance to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom, creating a picturesque backdrop for this historical landmark. Guests can stroll through the surrounding park, reading quotes from Dr. King that are etched into the granite walls, providing insight into his profound message of peace and democracy.
