50 Years ago today....

Martin Luther King was murdered and a nation was forever changed.

It would do everyone good today to stop and think about what his dream was.

JFK...RFK...MLK......the 60's were a dangerous time.

MLK was a great man.

Struck down at 39.

He had so much more to give.

If he was still around I wonder what Dr King would think of the likes of Jackson, Sharpton and Waters?

hw wouldn't have anything to do with those derelicts. MLK had guts and a good sense of whats going to happen in the future. he was a class act and sorry he had to die to young.

I does believe they are followers of ex-Grand Wiz of the Klan David Duke, ex-Republican candidate for President of the United States and Governor of Louisiana. Or maybe the Jones guy running for Congress out there in the Chicago suburbs under the GOP banner, who's a big wheel in the American Nazi Party.

Guess we'll never know.
