MLK Memorial Remembers Dream

The life and mission of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. embedded itself into the fabric of American life and without question, had the greatest impact in advancing rights for minorities in the latter half of the 20th century. His works and accomplishments are being recognized with a national monument in his honor in Washington, D.C. that opened Monday.

African-American pastor and High Impact LeadershipCoalition founder Bishop Harry Jackson Jr. said of the King monument, "As a Christian, I am really excited. Such a memorial shows the power of an individual life and the power of prayer."

Jackson, who says he was 11 or 12 at the time of the 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech, prayerfully watched the march with his father in their hometown of Cincinnati,Ohio.
