Martin Luther King Jr. - 40th anniversary of his death

Martin Luther King Jr.

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

Martin Luther King Jr., American Civil Rights leader, was assassinated on the 4th of April 1968.

His assassin, James Earl Ray, died in prison in 1998 at the age of 70.

His most famous speech “I Have a Dream”, was delivered on the 28th of August 1963 at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C.

Rest In Peace Martin and Rest In Peace James.

    I remember that when I was a slip of a girl!

    It makes me realise that I need a Dream. Time to stop drifting like a pooh stick on a lazy river.
