The credit union industry will be a part of history when the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial monument will unveil in Washington Aug. 28.

In a letter to all that contributed, the African American Credit Union Coalition wrote, "The credit union community can be very proud of its role in bringing this vision into national focus … our donations totaled over $1.4 million!

Credit unions of America will take their rightful place on the monument's Donor Wall of Honor."
