2021-01-18
It's Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in America. Dr. King's Mountaintop speech, given April 3, 1968 at the Church of Christ in Memphis, TN, is quoted, "We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop... 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!" The next day, on April 4, 1968, King was assassinated." Comments | Permalink
