Make Me an Angel to Fly From Montgomery

"Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it 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. And 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." - Dr. Martin L. King, April 3, 1968, The Eve Of His Assassination


I found the following to be most interesting. A 1956 comic book illustrating the life and public ministry of Dr. King. It's posted in full on the web and is interactive. It is 15 pages long. The title page reads:

Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story.
"How 50,000 Negros found a new way to end racial discrimination."




Click the image. I think it is worth reminding our Liberal friends that Dr. King was a Baptist minister, and a Republican, who championed traditional marriage, opposed abortion and opposed government imposed racial preference - for whites or Blacks. "A letter from a Birmingham Jail" is a classic example of anti-statism, instead demanding the morality of God be the arbiter of justice.

His niece, Dr. Alveda C. King, works to keep his dream alive - in particular, for the unborn.
