Martin Luther King, Jr. 1929-1968

Happy Martin Luther King Day! Dr. King would have been 80 years old this year. (His actual birthday is January 15.)
.

We won't go into heaping more praise on Dr. King, his place in history as one of the "Greatest Americans" is very secure, but just to remind everyone who's currently flocking to kiss the robes of Barack Obama, there would have been no Barack Obama without Martin Luther King. Our country and our world owes a great debt to this incredible man.
