The MLK national memorial is to be erected on the National Mall. The statue was made in Communist China. The issue here, however, is the fact that the MLK family was paid $800,000 as "licensing fee" for the right to use MLK's "image" on the memorial that is being erected, partially at US Taxpayer expense, to him.
The families of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln were not paid for the use of their "image" on any national memorial. How ironic. The family of a committed Marxist, who did not even believe in private property ownership, is lining its pockets. Contributors to the MLK "foundation" that funded this national insult include the Washington DC municipal government, General Motors and the US Government ($10 million tax payer dollars).
