The entire memorial needed to raise up to 120 million dollars for it to be built.

•The memorial finally opened to the public on October 16th, 2011. This was late because of the ill effects of Hurricane Irene.

•Nature was an important part of the memorials' design. The cherry trees are positioned to bloom in a particular spot, so as to cause the effect of Martin Luther King Jr. gazing upon them.

•The address that it is on, 1964 Independence Avenue, was actually named after the 1964 Civil Rights act.
