WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 (UPI) -- A quote on the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington, which some say makes the civil rights leader appear arrogant, will be removed, officials said.
The quote, "I was a drum major for justice, peace and righteousness," was an abridgment of a speech King delivered to the congregation of Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church two months before his assassination in 1968, The Washington Post reported.
