REMEMBERING MARTIN LUTHER KING

Next weekend, our nation ( and our church community) remembers Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. During this week, I will post some commentary about Dr. King on this BLOG. I have just completed reading David Garrow's amazing book on MLK entitled BEARING THE CROSS and I will allude to it as the week goes on.

For today, let's begin with the final words of his final public address in Memphis, Tenn in 1968:
