Washington, D.C. — The Washington, D.C., Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation’s leadership has announced a $1 million gift from the memorial’s design build joint venture team, MTTG.. MTTG is a diverse design, construction management, and building team composed of professionals from McKissack & McKissack, Turner Construction, Tompkins Builders, and Gilford Corporation. The gift will support the memorial on the National Mall honoring  King.

“The joint venture design build executive team is honored to be an integral part of this national memorial project in honor of a man who has made such an impact on all of our lives. We applaud the Foundation for their perseverance and dedication in making this important contribution to our nation. We feel MTTG, a joint venture of four companies, working together and utilizing their talents, truly reflects the very essence of Dr. King’s teachings of economic and social equality,” said Deryl McKissack, president and CEO of McKissack & McKissack.
