Hi, Mame, I agree with you. It wouldn't hurt for all of us to listen to the wisdom of his words.

I am bookmarking MissMimi for later viewing.
I admire Martin Luther King, and chose his speech decades ago for my rhetorical class.
I hope you are well! Have a lovely weekend!

Martin Luther King is on my short list for greatest American hero of all time. Lincoln, Kevorkian, Washington, John Adams, Teddy Roosevelt. The single worst disgrace in American history is the way black people were treated here. -

you know, i'm glad you posted this, mimi. i only realized that was yesterday b/c i strolled past the TV in the break room at work!
dr. king was a great man--there are so few people about whom i can comfortably say that, but i'm completely comfortable saying it of him.
