Let's pause to remember a fallen hero of the civil rights movement whose peaceful, non-violent method of protesting against the violence of fire-hoses, police-dogs, beatings and arrests for protesting the right to be equal helped win those rights for Blacks in the United States.
Dr. King said prophetically, he might not make it to the Promise Land, but he did know that ultimately as a people, Blacks would make it. Unfortunately, he was assassinated in the early evening of April 4th, 1968 at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. We set aside today to honor the man.
