Summary

Authorizes the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity to establish a memorial to Martin Luther King, Jr., on Federal land in the District of Columbia. Directs the Secretary of the Interior to: (1) select a site for the memorial; (2) determine that funds needed for completion are available before allowing construction to begin; and (3) maintain the memorial after construction is completed. Prohibits the United States from paying any expense of establishing the memorial. Limits the authority to build the memorial to five years unless construction begins during that period.
