of Martin Luther King, Jr.

We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really 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. So 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.

Those videos were very sad and touching. There was so much hatred then. Im so happy we had Dr Martin Luther King here on earth because he was a wonderful and genderous man. I wish he was here now so I could thank him. He has also made a wonderful research paper for me. (I HOPE I MAKE AN A !) THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING DR MARTIN LUTHER KING:)
