New King Memorial in Washington Draws Early Visitors

There's a new monument in Washington -- a little bit different, perhaps, from the ones people usually see. It's a tribute to the late American civil rights leader, Martin Luther King Junior -- and it's the first memorial to an African-American on the National Mall. It opened to the public this week in advance of the official dedication scheduled for Sunday (Aug. 28). Mariama Diallo talked with visitors about their impressions of the man and the monument.
