WASHINGTON (AP) – The NFL Players Association is pledging to raise or donate $1 million to help build the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial planned for the National Mall in Washington.
DeMaurice Smith, the association’s executive director, announced the pledge Wednesday at a luncheon with the Congressional Black Caucus. He says King was an inspiration to many NFL players.
The gift brings the fundraising total to $107 million of the $120 million needed to build the memorial.
