25+ Free Things to Do in Washington, D.C. (Updated 2025)

"I found the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial to be a powerful tribute: a giant carving of Dr. King with quotations from his 'I Have a Dream' speech and an Inscription Wall featuring 14 quotes from his speeches and writings; it was the first memorial on the Mall to honor a person of color when it opened in 2011." - Matthew Kepnes
