I'm surprised I haven't seen anything up about the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr's assassination, so I thought I'd put up a short diary to commemorate this tragedy and allow people to share their thoughts and memories.
I really don't have any analysis or conspiracies to share, but I do have a song and a link to one of King's speeches below, so I hope I'll be forgiven for this slight breech of the rules.
One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come, he to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
One man come on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
Early morning, April four
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
Spoken: For the Reverent Martin Luther King - saint.
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
In the name of love
While I'm here, I wonder what King would've said about our current situation in Iraq. Here's what he had to say about Vietnam:
A Time to Break Silence.
