Stevie Wonder to pay for the blind to touch King monument
Stevie Wonder has set up a foundation for blind visitors to fully experinece Dr Martin Luther King Jr's new memorial in Washington.
King's face and body havebeen carved in stone and the momorial will officially be unveiled at the National Mall next week.
The sightless soul man Wonder was able to touch his hero's face during a ceremony this week and now he is donating $10,000 a year so that other bling people get to feel the monument too.
Announcing his plans at a gala on Wednesday night, Wonder said: "Through the Wonder Foundation, I commit $10,000 (GBP6,250) a year that will allow as many people that are blind to go up in the cherry picker (crane) to see this."
