Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Memorial Rises, Mission Continues

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will break yet another racial barrier today when ground is broken for a monument in his honor on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. King will be the first African American to have a place in the mall, which incldes the Lincoln, Jefferson and Roosevelt memorials and the Washington Monument.

This is a fitting exclamation point for the King legacy. And the location could not be more perfect -- about a half-mile from the Lincoln Memorial, where King delivered his legendary "I Have Dream" speech in August 1963.

January 15th, on MLK Day, which has come to be commemorated as a day of service, a day on, not a day off, we plan a special issue of Blawg Review #91, hosted on a law blog that best exemplifies the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
