April 4, 1968

Today is the anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.  In memory of this incredible Civil Rights leader, I'm posting part of the speech he gave on April 3, 1968.  Please take ten minutes here to listen to his prophetic speech, consider the journey of blacks in the U.S., as well as the intersection of race and faith. 

I'm also posting one of my most favorite speeches from a politician ever.  Robert Kennedy gave this speech announcing King's death.
