President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence laid a wreath at the base of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in Washington, D.C. on Monday during a brief visit, as Americans marked the anniversary of the civil rights leader's birth.  

Official White House schedules for the day, published Sunday night, said Trump and Pence had 'no public events scheduled' on the national holiday.

But shortly after 11:00 a.m, both leaders headed to the imposing stone memorial on the banks of Washington's tidal basin near the National Mall.
