Good news on the MLK memorial front. Boeing is giving $1 million to the project. I can’t wait for this to be done. FLASHBACK: Anyone remember the frat (Alpha Phi Alpha) selling the bricks…I was so broke back then that I couldn’t even buy one…LOL!!

The Boeing Co. has announced a $1 million donation to help build the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial.

The gift was announced at a unity breakfast at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday, the 45th anniversary of the civil rights leader’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

The foundation working to build the memorial on the National Mall in Washington says it has now raised $100 million for the effort. Earlier this month, the group announced it must raise an additional $20 million to complete the project.
