Thanks for this. Martin Luther King is one of my heroes, and his wife is no less remarkable a person. She took as many bombs, threats and physical assaults as he did, and she did it for the same reasons, and with the same passion for justice and the Kingdom of God. I don't want to start a religious thread here, but religion did play a big role in motivating and empowering both Kings. They were people who changed the world for the better, and although they each had faults, their strengths were massive and immutable. They deserve to be commemorated with a holiday.

Now that's what I'm talking about!!!!!
