Google that shit. Most memorials are nice and all, but MLK is looking straight pimp. Gotta be the coolest looking memorial I can ever recall seeing.

Fees to King family
In 2001, the foundation's efforts to build the memorial were stalled because Intellectual Properties Management Inc., an organization operated by King's family, wanted the foundation to pay licensing fees to use his name and likeness in marketing campaigns. The memorial's foundation, beset by delays and a languid pace of donations, stated that "the last thing it needs is to pay an onerous fee to the King family." Joseph Lowery, past president of the King-founded Southern Christian Leadership Conference stated in the The Washington Post, "If nobody's going to make money off of it, why should anyone get a fee?"[35] Cambridge University historian David Garrow, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his biography of King, said of King's family's behavior, "One would think any family would be so thrilled to have their forefather celebrated and memorialized in D.C. that it would never dawn on them to ask for a penny." He added that King would have been "absolutely scandalized by the profiteering behavior of his children."[36] The family pledged that any money derived would go back to the King Center's charitable efforts.[20][37][38] The foundation has paid the fee since 2003. By 2009, King's family had charged the Foundation $800,000 for the use of his words and image in fund-raising materials for the memorial.

Yeah it's pretty common knowledge that his family are a bunch of greedy fucks.

I have no idea how the apple fell so far, and so rotten from the tree.

That's why we don't have an awesome MLK movie.

But anyway, all I was gonna say was I wonder whether the knowledge that Obama was raised solely by his white half would take away some of the enthusiasm. Or just the fact that he wasn't fully African American period?

i jus wonderin lol

I don't think so. The mere fact that we as Americans elected somebody with even half black and a darker skin period is progression. Remember all that racial mushy stuff when we all came together, white people and black people holding hands and singing Kumbaya and all that crap during the elections? That shit would've had King on his knees sobbing uncontrollably.

this makes for interesting conversation tbh

Should black ppl be proud of the fact Obama happens to have black skin? or do they not have a right to be proud because Obama was raised by a white family?

Black people are proud that America was able to elect someone that is African American (even half), not just the simple fact that he has dark skin.

Doesn't matter who they were raised by. Black people who were adopted and raised by two white parents still can experience racism because people judge skin rather than character. Besides, Obama seemed to have embraced his black side more as he was growing up like being in a black church, basketball, black girlfriend, ect. so that's probably a reason why most black people overlook the fact that he was raised by a white people.

I hope she isn't scorned. If anything, she should be highly regarded as one of the foremost authorities on womanizing politicians.

Yeah. I'm just saying that because she'll be talking ill about a highly revered figure. Add that to the mess politicians and news organizations create when they hurl out the "racist" tag as if it's going out of style simply because other people have a differing opinion. I know there was rumors of MLK's infidelity and this should put all those rumors to rest.
