The group working to build a Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington is planning a radio fundraising drive on Clear Channel Radio stations across the country.
The monthlong campaign on more than 25 radio stations will begin in August and will feature celebrities including Aretha Franklin and Samuel L. Jackson talking about the significance of the memorial. It coincides with the 45th anniversary of King's March on Washington and his "I Have a Dream" speech.
The effort announced Thursday will culminate in a radiothon on Aug. 28 to help complete fundraising for the memorial.
The King Memorial foundation already has raised $94.8 million of the initial $100 million goal.
The radio campaign is set to air in Baltimore, Chicago, New York, New Orleans and other cities.
