Not even in his wildest dreams could Martin Luther King Jr have
imagined that he would one day find himself honoured alongside two of
America's best-known and best-loved presidents.
But Dr King is soon to stand shoulder to shoulder with Abraham Lincoln
and Thomas Jefferson when a statue of the slain civil rights leader is
unveiled in the National Mall in Washington, DC.
The memorial will be positioned in a direct line between those
dedicated to legendary former leaders Jefferson and Lincoln in the
open-air national park, where King delivered his famous 'I Have a Dream'
speech in 1963.
