Considering that we’re about to witness history this evening, regardless of who you’re planning to vote for in November, we felt the need to share the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 45 years later.

UPDATE: Opinions on the state of King’s Dream
UPDATE: 4:47 p.m. André’s editorial is now available. See the link at the end of the post.
As we remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on the 40th observance of the date of his assassination, let’s take a moment and listen to the words of the fallen solider of the Civil Rights movement delivered the evening before he died (RealAudio file).
We’ve decided to share two editorials with you over on my Birmingham as the nation remembers the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. which occurred some 40 years ago today.
Our first piece comes from our editorial assistant, Leah Walcott, currently a senior at Miles College in Fairfield, AL.
Yours truly will post his own thoughts on the occasion and what it means around 4:45 p.m. this afternoon. This post is now available over on my Birmingham.
