HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.!!

Today is the actual date of birth for the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.!
He was born January 15, 1929. If his life hadn't been so abruptly taken from him, he would be a smooth 81 years old.


Despite any controversy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was undoubtedly an American Hero.


"If physical death is the price that I must pay to free my white brothers and sisters from a permanent death of the spirit, then nothing can be more redemptive."

Visiting the Lorraine Motel, the site of his assassination, was one of the more moving moments of my life. Across the street from the National Civil Rights Museum, there's an additional building detailing the supposed conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Honestly, I found it more interesting than the actual museum.
