40 years ago: MLK

On the eve of his assassination forty years ago today, Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his "Mountain Top" speech, words worth remembering today.

Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead.
But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop.
And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place.
But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will.
And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain.
And I've looked over.
And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you.
But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
