I like it. Good stuff! The Crazy Horse memorial is going to be badass also.
Google that . Most memorials are nice and all, but MLK is looking straight pimp. Gotta be the coolest looking memorial I can ever recall seeing.

remember that scene at the end of the planet of apes when Lincoln's head was changed from human to ape?

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 s.
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.
Very nice. Need to make a trip out there again one of these days. DC is a great tourist city.
ed up Wiki though. Didn't even know that.
those lips are racist
the face looks terrible tbh. Doesn't even look like him
my boy BSM with the awesome awkward goods
A very moving monument.
that's not Joe Frazier??
I was gonna say nose.
Did he take the elevator to get from 1st floor to the lobby?
That MLK had some juevos.
Very impressive memorial. It's a shame about the situations within his family.
What's with the dimpled pattern on his right sleeve? That doesn't look real.
Where is the fried chicken wing?
That's just begging for the 'I see what you did there' caption.
No no it wasa honest observation (no racist)
white's only country club symbolism.
"I..have a wing".
Not calling out your comment specifically, just that the statue's face sort of has a squinty knowing/su ious look on it.
Where have I seen that before...
Looks Asian and angry.
