Default Martin's "Mountaintop" speech- forty years ago today.

Is it possible that it has been forty years?? Hard to fathom. Here's a link to the speech at npr.org:

Forty years tomorrow that we lost him...... how sad.

To me this was MLK's best speech. I listened to it numerous times and am amazed at how he had a perspective on what was happening that is very rare today.

I listened to this tonight. It is so powerful. I wish MLK still walked the earth.

Default I really miss his presence.

I long for him to still be here as well. The sound of his voice forever brings tears to my eyes.......
