NEW DATE FOR THE MLK MEMORIAL COMMEMORATION

Get your children together, email your friends again, and find your camera because the event to commemorate one of the most historic men of our time has been re-scheduled.

Hurricane Irene may have stopped the party last time, but the event must go on!!!! Let's keep the word spreading and bring out support in numbers for such a historic monument and event.

As reported on Fox5Atlanta.com, organizers have set new date in October for dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington.

Executive Architect Ed Jackson Jr. told The Associated Press on Sunday that the memorial will now be dedicated Oct. 16. A formal announcement is expected soon.

The dedication had been planned for Aug. 28, the 48th anniversary of King's "I Have a Dream" speech. But it was delayed by Hurricane Irene.
