Yesterday, mother nature nature applauded the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial by giving the earth a little shake, but today, the Gertrude Stein Democratic Club and other LGBT allied organizations will be hosting a reception in honor of the unveiling of the monument -- and you can join them.
Building the Dream for LGBT Equality: Reflections on the Life and Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
When: Wednesday, August 24
Time: 6:30 P.M. – 8:30 P.M.
Location: Raburn House Office Building Foyer
Independence Ave and South Capitol St, Washington D.C
After 15 years from when President Bill Clinton signed a resolution to establish a memorial to “honor the life, the dream and the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.” on the National Mall, D.C the statue finally opened on Monday. It was inspired by his famed “I have a dream” speech, delivered 48 years ago by the man himself, and has been carefully carved to depict the words “out of a mountain of despair, a stone of hope”.
