This is one of the memorials that helps if you have a tour guide or know the background information of the memorial itself. We visited on a night tour, and coming through the mountains of despair, it actually does block off all sound and sight before you break through to the memorial. Just was amazed at the ability of the artist to work in granite! It also helps to go at a time there, or not so many other tourists visiting so that it is quieter and more reflective.

This is very cool to visit and very accessible. You can walk, scooter or bike to it. Park scooters and bikes just outside the entrance and then walk the 50m into it. Well placed and plenty of space to move around

Impressive, simple in form and located in a quiet location around 10 min. walking from the Lincoln Memorial, where Martin Luther King, Jr. held his famous speech: ''I had a Dream''. The official address of the monument, 1964 Independence Avenue, S.W., commemorates the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Memorial was open to public in 2011.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial is a very tall memorial in the Tidal Basin walk in Washington DC. It commemorates the late Civil Rights leader, MLK. I highly recommend visiting this memorial.
