"And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Let us turn our thoughts today
To Martin Luther King
And recognize that there are ties between us
All men and women
Living on the earth
Ties of hope and love
Sister and brotherhood
That we are bound together
In our desire to see the world become
A place in which our children
Can grow free and strong
We are bound together
By the task that stands before us
And the road that lies ahead
We are bound and we are bound(James Taylor)

Amazing man. We need more like him, and sadly I don't see anyone coming forward.
MLK must have been something. I wish he had been around a little longer.
SO... I really do hope that we get to meet up in Alaska! How fun would that be?
Lovely post, lovely. Thank you for that tribute.
