WASHINGTON, DC -- 8/22/11 -- Wiley Jones, of Bowie, MD, came by during his lunch break. "It's absolutely amazing", he says. "It stands as a tribute to those whose shoulders I stand on; and this is a reminder of that. This is a monument to decency and goodness. We should remember, because we don't act like it now." .....Soft opening for the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial on the National Mall. The memorial consists of a 30 foot granite sculpture of Dr. King, and a 450 foot long granite wall engraved with more than a dozen quotes from his speeches and sermons in a landscaped area along the Tidal Basin.....by André Chung #AC2_2060
