Martin Luther King Junior memorial ceremony under way in D.C.WASHINGTON - The National Mall in Washington will get its first monument to an African American, Martin Luther King Junior.
Ordinary and no-so-ordinary Americans took part in the groundbreaking Monday, including Oprah Winfrey, poet-novelist Maya Angelou and former President Bill Clinton.

They're among those who've been working for more than a decade to bring the monument about.

The four-acre site along the Tidal Basin is not far from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, where King gave his "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963.

Project organizers have raised more than $65 million toward the $100 million cost of building and maintaining the King Memorial. They hope to have it completed by the spring of 2008.

I wonder if they will censor the following parts of King's speech, since he does make at least 4 references to God......
Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:
...we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!
