1968 King Assassination Report (CBS News)
I thought this was somewhat appropriate considering the day. I thought it was interesting that even though they are talking about his death, they keep bringing up his life and how he lived his life and what he stood for. I think that we should remember how people lived and not how they died. MLK Jr. lived for peace and justice and died in violence and hate, but what subsequent generations have learned and remembered was his true alligence to justice and his undying pursuit for equality. ~ Jacquelyn Richardson

I agree with you. How people remember you is very telling in the end. The impact one had/has on their community, either positive or negative, will usually be the most remembered aspect of their life. In Dr. King's case, he had such a profound affect on his community that his message and beliefs reached far beyond it. Not what you did for yourself but what you did for others. Great post Jacquelyn.
