"All we say to America is to be true to what u said on paper. If i lived in China or even Russia or any totalitarian county, maybe i could understand some of these illegal injunctions, maybe i could understand the deniels of certain basic first amendment privlagies because they havent committed themselves to that over there but somewhere i read of the freedom of assembly, somewhere i read of the freedom of speech, somewhere i read of the freedom of press, some where i read that the greatness of America is the RIGHT to protest for RIGHTS. So just as i say were not gonna let any dogs or water hoses turn us around, were not gonna let any injunctions turn us around. Well i dont know what will happen now, weve got some difficult days ahead but it really doesnt matter with me now because ive been to the moutain top. I dont mind, like anybody i would like to live a long life, longevity has its place but im not concerned about that now, i just want to do Gods will. Hes allowed me to go up to the mountain, and ive looked over and ive seen the promise land. I may not get there with yah but i want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promise land. So im happy tonight and im not fearing any man because i eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord"----Martin Luther King Jr (the mountain top speech on April, 3 1968, the night before is assassination)

Dr King was simply the peoples champion, no matter what color, creed or nationality, he didnt care what or who u were . All he cared about was how u were being treated by your fellow man and about the contempt that came along with it by some. He followed in the foot steps of another champion of the human spirit of eqaulity, Mohandas K Gandhi. They both believed that no human was untouchable because love doesnt see color, monetary earnings or even religious beliefs. Its a complete oblitorator....a complete obliterator of the travesty that is human ignorance and it was that ignorance that caused violence to rear its ugly head...

"Men for years now have been talking about war and peace,but now can they no longer can they just talk about it, it is no longer the choice between violence or non violence in this world; its non violence or non exsistance; that is where we are today"---Martin Luther King Jr.

So lets do our best and keep his message of love and hope and complete non violence alive, so we may see a better day.....

King and Kennedy, IMO, were taken out because they refused to feed the machine.
