In Honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Democracy Now! does a wonderful presentation on their site today, commemorating the legacy and mission of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his monumental movement for civil rights. Some of King's last speeches are aired, as well as an address to the nation he gave explaining why he opposed the war in Vietnam. Check out their website at democracynow.org and click "today's show", "listen." It's well worth it and a more-than-important grab back to the world's reality and the pertinence of history - our present, ongoing connection with that history.
