“Well, I don’t know what will happen now. We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn’t matter with me now. Because I’ve been to the mountaintop. And I don’t mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now. I just want to do God’s will. And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I’m happy tonight. I’m not worried about anything. I’m not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.”
~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., April 3, 1968

To honor the memory of Dr. King, I watched Soundtrack for a Revolution, a documentary about the music of the civil rights movement. It brought these days back to me—the extraordinary hope of my generation, the pain of the assassinations of the 1960s, and the long grief and cynicism that flowed from them.

  1. The most striking aspect of Dr. King, in my opinion, and I recall some of his speeches though I was young, was his lack of fear. Even as a child, I was in awe of that…still am.

  2. Hell yeah to the Abby Rockefeller news. Interesting times to be alive. Life IS tremendous.

  3. I just read a report that the Kennedy and King families are seeking to reopen the assassination probes into the MLK, JFK, Robert Kennedy and Malcolm X assassinations. I think this is a big deal that could expose the deep state and the corruption at the highest levels of our government and needs everyone’s support. Could the tides be turning?

  4. I honestly believe Dr. King was given a burning bush spiritual experience.

    The divergence of his message from the weaponized cultural battles of today, make my heart ache, and me beg Creator for help for us all.
