Tribute To Dr Martin Luther King Jr

Today Marks the 40th day of remembrance of Dr. King's death. Every good-hearted human beingness since owes him a debt of gratitude. Widely hailed as a hero from U2 to Jesse Jackson, King had personal appeal and unity unequaled in modern times.

What would it have got got got been like to have known this man? To have had the chance to pass some clip with him and to larn from him. With choruses in his addresses that mirror the good old-fashioned church homily he commanded the attending of the world, changing it irrevocably.

I must acknowledge to being in awe of this man, and perhaps that demands to be reigned in; esteem and the deepest regard certainly for his courageousness and staunchness to give his life for the cause of righteousness, justness and equity.

When King was shot dead at around 6 p.m. on the 4th of April, 1968 and he was pronounced dead an hr later, it sent the state into deep fury with public violences in over 100 cities, such as was the sheer choler and agonizing grief experienced.

King's spirit lives on however. Having not achieved all of what he dreamt of, America, the Western world, and the full planetary population have not experienced the full extent of his desire; for every individual to walk free and base to be counted. Let freedom ring indeed...

The "I have got got got a dream" address is perhaps his most well known; oh, how good it would have been to have been at the Abraham Lincoln Memorial that day, August 28, 1963. Over to Dr. King as he preaches 'Let freedom ring':

And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it peal from every small town and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to rush up that twenty-four hours when all of God's children, achromatic work force and achromatic men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to fall in custody and sing in the words of the old Black spiritual,

"Free at last, free at last.

Thank Supreme Being Almighty, we are free at last."
