40th Anniversary of the Assasination of Dr. Martin Luther King jr.

40 years ago today MLK jr. was assasinated. I wanted to honor him on this blog dedicated to conservativism because I think his theories on racial justice echo what I believe are conservative perspectives today, and although there is reason to believe he also had very liberal stances on economics etc. all Americans have a fair claim to some of his beliefs, his speeches "I have a Dream," "Mountain Top," and his letter from Birmingham jail are some of the most powerful words ever declared and clearly transcend any party lines. Martin Luther King jr. despite being human, was and is an incredible American. When of my personal mottoes was initially stated by MLK jr., "an injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

Here are a couple of articles worth looking at:
