40 years since Martin Luther King was shot



Today it's 40 year since Martin Luther King was shot in Memphis, Tennesse. I have to admit that I do not know as much as I would like about Dr. King but what I do know is what kind of symbol he is today and just as Gandhi might have had his faults I'm sure Dr. King had some too but that matter very little today because today he is a symbol of anti-violence and the world definitely needs more of those. So for that reason I bow my head in silence today to revere the memory of a great man that fought for something very important with only the help of words.
