A Great Life Remembered

Forty years ago today the life of a great man was taken from this earth. On this date, April 4, 1968 Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, TN.

He was an eternal optimist. Although he refused to discount the battles occuring around him, he challenged others to dream and take action. With that said, here’s Dr. King’s most famous speech and definitely my favorite!
