I heard about him for the first time at school in history class... his words, his life, his nature, his character impressed me deeply even then... as a little boy I thought he was a hero... as a grown man I admire him for his courage and his vision, for standing up for the oppressed and disadvantaged and for his tireless calls to bring the necessary change in society peacefully... It is incredibly sad that this wonderful man had to die far too soon, murdered at the hands of a criminal... I often wonder what our world would be like today if Dr. Martin Luther King had been able to fulfill his visions, if his words had been heard... if he had been able to influence our world longer and more intensely? I am sure our world would be a better one.... Rest in peace, you courageous, wise and peace-loving soul. 🖤
