Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is endorsing a plan to remove an inscription from the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, rather than cut into the granite to replace it with a fuller quotation.
Salazar will announce plans Tuesday to remove a paraphrase from King's "Drum Major" speech by carving grooves over the lettering to match existing scratch marks in the sculpture. Memorial sculptor Lei Yixin said removing the inscription this way would avoid harming the monument's structural integrity.
Has there been another national monument in Washington D.C. that historically misrepresents the man it was supposed to honor in this way?
The clumsy moves by the left who hold no regard for accuracy and attention to detail can sometimes be comical. Other times it is shameful. All of the time it brings shame on the nation as a whole.
