Subject: RE: BS: In Memory: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Well, ya' all... I've always been a student of Dr. King... Okay, I don't wear it on my sleeve but I have lots of his writings stashed away in files and so, rather than be accused, viewed or otherwise seen as a tourist (a term I fully undwerstand) I'm just going to keep this thread alive with more of Dr. Kings words...

Dr King, abopve all, was a man of intense "faith" and "Faith"...

In his address before the National Press Club in july of 1962 he said:

"If the inespressible cruelties of slavery could not exringuish our existence, the opposition we now face will surely fall. We feel that we are the conscience of America- we are its troubles soul- we will continue to insist that right be done becuase both God's will and the heritage of out nation speak through echoing demands."

There is no other statement that I can find theat better exemplifies Dr. King's "faith" and "Faith"...
