Richmond students attend opening of Martin Luther King Jr Memorial

06/09/2011

Richmond students, Eric T. B. Lomotey and Andrew Burke, attended a private dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial on 26th August 2011 in Washington, DC. This event was hosted by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc.

The National Capital Planning Commission and the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts approved the site location for the King Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, DC in December 1999.

The Memorial’s address will be 1964 Independence Ave, SW, Washington, DC 20024. The street number is a reference to the Civil Rights' Act of 1964, a milestone which Dr. King played an integral role in achieving.

Eric and Andrew are members of 'Beta Psi Chapter' of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. here at Richmond University. For more information about the organisation, visit http://www.alpha-phi-alpha.com.
