45 Years Ago

At 6:01 pm on April 4, 1968 civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was hit by a sniper's bullet. Dr. King was in Memphis to help city sanitation workers-most of whom were black-fight for better pay and working conditions. King had been standing on the balcony in front of  his room at the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee, when, without warning, he was shot. King was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead at 7:05 pm.

Reflections

Greatness means touching people from afar

Power is the ability to move people with ideas

Acceptance is seeing the world for what it is

Courage is seeing the world for what it can be

Visionaries share the path to a brighter day

Legacies are built on that path

So many dreams, so much hope, so much to share

All the different ways great people touch my life

I remember Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

What is King's greatest legacy?

How will you honor his life today?
