To see the memorial built and celebrated is a remarkable milestone for all those who continue to advocate Dr. King’s universal message of humanity and equality,” said Hilfiger. “Our company has had the exceptional opportunity to work with the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation for over ten years; it is a privilege and a responsibility that we take great pride in.”
The event began on Saturday with the Dream Reception and Gala held at the Hilton Hotel. On Sunday, the official dedication ceremony took place at the memorial in front of 50,000 people. Several speeches were made, including Hilfiger’s, as well as remarks by President Obama, who attended the event with his family.
