“A eleição do afro-americano Barack Hussein Obama para a presidência dos EUA realiza o sonho de Luther King Jr: "Tenho um sonho de que um dia as pessoas serão julgadas não pela cor de sua pele, mas pela força de seu caráter".

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice.

In his final years, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had death on his mind. While watching news coverage of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, he turned to his wife, Coretta, and told her, "This is what is going to happen to me." All his adult life, this practitioner of nonviolence had been threatened, assaulted, and surrounded by people — most of them white, some of them black — who co

Recently, I was attempting to find a certain volume of Luther's works in English. Surprisingly, I was unable to find a complete list of all 55 volumes online. I've thus compiled a list of the works, a "table of contents" of sorts to the series.Each title is also linked to the Pulisher's page which has a description of the book and a table of contents. The American Edition of Luther's Works includes all of Luther's writings that have been translated into English. The individual volumes are published jointly by Fortress Press and Concordia Publishing House.

Martin Luther King 'dream' lives on, 40 years after death WASHINGTON -- On April 4 America marks the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King, just as the first black candidate with a viable shot at the White House reinvigorates the late reverend's civil rights "dream." In 1968 the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr was killed by a single bullet to the head while on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in downtown Memphis, in the southern state of Tennessee. The Nobel peace prize winner was just 39 years old. Had he lived he would have turned 79 in January. The mystery surrounding his assassination has swirled for years, with escaped convict James Earl Ray convicted of the murder and sentenced to 99 years in prison. Ray confessed to pulling the trigger, then quickly proclaimed
On Thursday, April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. had retreated to room 306 of the Lorraine Motel, worrying about a sanitation strike in Memphis and working on his sermon for Sunday. Its title: "Why America May Go to Hell." For King, whose focus had shifted from civil rights to antiwar agitation and populist economics, the Dream was turning dark. He had been depressed, sleeping little and suffering from migraines. In Washington, his plans for a massive Poor People's Campaign were in disarray. In Memphis, King's first march with striking garbage men had degenerated into riot when young black radicals--not, as in the glory days, angry state troopers--broke King's nonviolent ranks. By 5 p.m. he was hungry and looked forward to a soul-food supper. Always fastidious-a prince of th

In addition to voting to oppose a state holiday in 1987 (which he later supported) and a federal holiday in 1989, McCain voted in 1994 to cut funding for the commission that promoted King's holiday.read more | digg story
April 4, 1968 was truly a tragic and sad day in American history because of the assassination of Martin Luther King in Memphis, Tennessee.
Equally tragic is the fact that, before America could finish mourning the loss of Dr. King, on June 4, 1968, a cowardly madman blew out the brains of Senator Robert Kennedy

Sheriff's booking photo of Martin Luther King Jr.following his February 1956 arrest during theMontgomery bus boycott.

It is unclear whenthe notations "DEAD" and "4-4-68" were written on the photo. Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. It's on this date – April 4 – that the US media, politicians and various government and civic leaders pause for a phony group hug to admire the peaceful and tolerant ideals espoused by MLK. Then on April 5, these very same people go back to encouraging hateful violence against millions of people whether it's the violence of war in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Palestinian territories or
Today is the 40th anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King. I would invite you to take a few minutes and re-listen to the famous speech that then Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy gave that evening in which he poetically described not just what King meant to the United States (something that those present knew all too well), but the long road that Americans, and indeed all people, have yet to walk before reaching true racial reconciliation and equality.About a month ago I was in Memphis, where I had the opportunity to visit the national civil rights museum and see the spot where King was killed. That trip provided some unique insights for me into the struggles that Americans still have in overcoming racial barriers between blacks and whites. The night before the picture abov
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968 - the day America will always mourn - one of its most courageous and upright citizens was killed by a sniper’s bullet. Since the horrible slaying of Dr. King, this nation has certainly progressed in racial relations, which shows what a positive and noble aim can accomplish. America is a better country from the work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and others like him. This United States of America has always been a country known for great its commitments, innovations and accomplishments - and equalizing the rights of all of its populace was one of its most ground-breaking actions. Its corrected civil rights policies have gone a long ways to improving this nation and making it a true “melting pot”. And individuals like Dr. Ma

When marchers assembled for the third attempt to make the walk in support of voting rights with the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. in March of 1965 - the first had met with state-supported violence at the Pettus Bridge and the second stopped by court order, several participants were not fully prepared for four days of walking 12 miles per day and sleeping in tents on the roadside at night.

It was 40 years ago today that Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on the balcony of a Memphis, Tennessee motel. Like so many others---known or unknown---King worked tirelessly for the rights of others, and he was one more who fell unnecessarily to the unforgiving hand of violence.Race still matters in this country, and it touches every person on Earth, and although King's dream is still not fully realized, we all carry the collective responsibility to see it through. From astronomical rates of incarceration for young men of color to predatory lending targeted at communities of color, there is indeed still a long way to go.In memory of Dr. King, may we all still stand for justice.
Is she really the person to talk about Martin Luther King considering all of the racial politics she's been playing the last few months?Everything that comes out of this woman's mouth seems to reek of phoniness.
El reverendo Martin Luther King Jr, ministro bautista y dirigente del Movimiento por los Derechos Civiles en Estados Unidos, fue asesinado un día como hoy hace 40 años, en Memphis, Tennessee, cuando se encontraba asomado a la galería del Motel Lorraine de la ciudad, a donde se había trasladado para apoyar una huelga local de los recolectores de basura. Luchador incansable por las libertades de los negros americanos y de todos los oprimidos, la vida del doctor Luther King estuvo siempre dedicada a la reivindicación de la igualdad entre los hombres blancos y de color, siempre mediante acciones pacíficas. Lo más tenso de su lucha se unió al clima de protestas contra la guerra de Vietnam, que se desarrolló en la segunda mitad de los años sesenta. El presidente John F. Kennedy había
Now, I am sure there will be those who will accuse me of being a Liberal for posting this. Quite honestly, I could give a flying flip what those close-minded, ignorant, fools think really. Every time I read some idiotic tripe, which is usually written by some racist bigot, saying that Martin Luther King Jr. was a Communist, I just want to rip that persons head off. Sad part is, most Republicans believe that nonsense. Funny thing is, the same Republicans that derided Martin Luther King Jr. Deride Al Sharpton. Honestly? I'm not a fan of the guy either. Not because of his skin color, because he's hi-jacked the civil rights movement. As has Jesse Jackson. But I strong suspect the motives of the Conservatives who love to run those two in the ground.

It seems like history has always been about people like Dr. King getting worked over by society because they think his ideas are dangerous and radical. Unfortunately, that type of society has been going strong the last few years when people with the smartest ideas are shouted down or even silenced by the complacent and moronic majority.Martin Luther King was assassinated April 4, 1968. 40 years ago tomorrow.
Estados Unidos conmemora esta semana el 40 aniversario del asesinato de Martin Luther King, el adalid de los derechos civiles que soñó un futuro en el que las personas serían juzgadas por su carácter y no por el color de su piel."La esperanza y los sueños de King no se han realizado plenamente, pero estamos mucho más cerca", ha declarado a Efe Michael Mugg, un ministro de la iglesia Faith Overcomes, de Fayetteville (Carolina del Norte), quien tenía 9 años cuando King murió tiroteado en Memphis."Las generaciones más jóvenes se han ido librando de prejuicios, aprenden que somos todos humanos, iguales, con la misma sangre roja, todos hijos de Dios", añadió.En la tarde del 4 de abril de 1968, King, de 39 años de edad, salió a tomar un poco de aire en un balcón del Hotel Lorrain
Forty years ago tomorrow – March 31, 1968 – President Lyndon B. Johnson announced to a surprised American public that he would not seek another term as President of the United States. Johnson’s exact words on national television were: “I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President.” In Clay Risen’s April 2008 Smithsonian magazine article “The Unmaking of the President,” Risen says that, after making this announcement, Johnson was “by all accounts a man renewed.” Johnson felt he now had “the political capital to get passed” several of his domestic programs as well as achieving peace in Vietnam. Yet just four days later on April 4, 1968, James Earl Ray shot and killed the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther Ki
On HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher Friday Night, Travis Smiley made the absurd argument that after "They" disinvited Martin Luther King to the White House "They" shot him dead.

Consequently, Bill Maher called him a nut!

A truly sickening site is the bending and twisting God's word and a man's morals to fit a political agenda. Yet it happens time and time again and in the center often stands the memory of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.During the South Carolina primary, Democratic presidential candidates Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama did so on a national stage. The Obama camp supporters accused Hillary Clinton of diminishing King's roll in Civil Rights. Camp Hillary supporters accused the Obama camp of trying to unjustly flair racial tensions in order to obtain a vote.In reality they both pollute the memory of Dr. King. Both have driven their message to race in order to obtain a vote in defiance of King's desire for an even playing field where people are not judged by the color of their sk

Today, I took my seven-year-old son to a family concert to celebrate the life and words of Martin Luther King, Jr. It was an amazing concert - they read excerpts from some of MLK's speeches, Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra performed, and they showed videos of MLK making his famous speeches. I am not sure if my seven-year-old son absorbed everything but he left the concert at least knowing the works of MLK better and up close. Of all the speeches they read, "What is Your Life's Blueprint?" speech struck a cord with me. MLK delivered that speech to students at Philadelphia on October 1967, six months his death. It is both relevant for children and adults as we ask ourselves what is the blueprint of our lives. Here is the excerpt that was read today at the concert:I want to ask you a quest

Today, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is remembered as a man who instilled social change under the the instrument of peace. He is a man admired for his amazing self-control and dedication to social change via peace and truth. He is one of the very few people that lived (or live) on this earth I can say without a doubt, I truly admired and respected what he was about.My admiration stems not from his speeches, which in itself it absolutely awe-inspiring. Neither from his peaceful mission in a violent world. Nor his various degrees of intellect. My admiration comes from the fact that he indeed was a man of the Faith and a promoter of Love.

"I saw my father march with Martin Luther King,†Romney said during his speech on religion in Texas on December 3. On "Meet the Press†Mitt repeated the same thing. George Romney was Governor of Michigan at the time and was a supporter of civil rights. The Romney campaign claimed that Mitt saw his father walk with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at a march in Grosse Point, Michigan. According to The Boston Phoenix newspaper, George Romney's only appearance in Grosse Point was at a speech at a high school three weeks before King was assassinated and it was not a march with Dr. King present. There is also no documentation to support that Romney's father was at any of the marches that took place in Michigan with Dr. King. There were marches in Michigan but George Romney never attended any of them. The second and biggest point that proves he was lying, is the fact that Mitt Romney was in France at the time. Mitt was on a two year Mormon missionary project
