His statue has been 25 years in the making and is set to be unveiled on the very site where his most famous words inspired generations of Americans.

Now the long-awaited statue of Martin Luther King Jr has finally been revealed on the National Mall in Washington, DC, where the civil rights leader made his iconic 'I Have a Dream' address.

The giant 30ft statue - the first on the Mall to honor a non-U.S. president - sits in a direct line between existing memorials dedicated to Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson.

It was revealed during a low-key opening in the U.S. capital, ahead of a week of celebrations before Sunday's official dedication.

As well as the massive sculpture of Dr King himself, the memorial also features a 450ft-long granite wall inscribed with 14 of his most memorable quotations.

MLK was a republican. Imagine that.

Black America is quick to forget that the Republican Party was the Civil Rights party and the the Democratic Party was the party of the Ku Klux Klan. It was the Republicans who started the NAACP to stop the Democrats from lynching blacks. It was the Republican President Eisenhower who sent troops to Arkansas to desegregate schools, established the Civil Rights Commission in 1958.

His time was before the Dems convinced all the entitlement era blacks that the Republicans were bad, even though history reveals that the republicans lead the way to the equal rights amendment.

any black today that is a democrat is one because they want the free take out shrimp and their car payments made,and rent paid, by everyone else.

Otherwise it just can't be intelligently understood.

Yeah he would have looked better with a big cheesey grin while clicking his heels together carrying a vagrants bindle with the crows from Dumbo singing in the background.

when the UK White supremacist government finally allows their blacks to have equal rights maybe you will be able to form a coherent opinion.

Black people have enjoyed equal rights in the UK looooooong before they did in the US dick.

We didn't need any Rosa Parks over here.

First the government is socialist and liberal now its white supremacist which is it dick? Please at least bring some consistency to your drivel.

i was there for that speech on the Mall. i truly did admire his oratory.

since that is a very familiar place to me, D.C. being my home town, it will be very weird to see that monument between the ones i grew up with, Lincoln and Jefferson.

My boss' former housekeeper, who was black, told me once never to trust a black who had freckles. Did you see the freckles on the statue? That's what made me recall what she said.

That wasn't a diss...it was an observation.
