1. The rescheduling of the dedication event is unfortunate, but understandable considering the impact of Hurricane Irene. It's disappointing that the attendance estimate had to be lowered due to schools being back in session, but it's still important to have a significant presence there to honor Dr. King.
2. The location of the memorial, between the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, is powerful and symbolic. It highlights the importance of King's legacy and his impact on American history, placing him among other influential figures.
3. While there may be controversy surrounding the design of the memorial, it's ultimately subjective. Some may appreciate the use of a Chinese sculptor and stone from China, while others may prefer it to have been more representative of African American art and culture. The important thing is that the memorial serves as a reminder of Dr. King's message and the fight for civil rights.
