Remembering Martin Luther King



Posted on YouTube by hirmiestelio

Even in our sleep,
pain which cannot forget,
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
until, in our own despair,
against our will,
comes wisdom
through the awful grace of God. 

(Aeschylus)

Beautiful tribute, Hannah, MLK has been a hero of mine ever since I was a young girl. Thanks for the post and perpetuating triumph over prejudice.

Thanks Nantz. This is one of my favorite speeches by him, together with "The Mindless Menace of Violence", which he gave the day after that. It says so much that Indianapolis was one of the only quiet cities that night that MLK had been killed.
