The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial is seen Monday in Washington, D.C., ahead of its dedication Sunday, the 48th anniversary of the March on Washington.

WASHINGTON – Some were locals who’ve watched for years as the memorial to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. took shape on the National Mall. Some were tourists who happened to be in Washington the day it opened. All felt honored to be a part of history as they gazed at a towering granite sculpture of the civil rights leader.

What other leader/s do you think deserves a national momument?
