This week’s remembrance of Martin Luther King reminded me of when I saw his statue in
the U.S. Capitol rotunda last spring (pictured to the right). The black stone figure was cold and lifeless. I suppose statues are there to remind us of great words from historical figures. For me I am more inspired seeing old film clips of Dr King. I found a copy of his “I have a dream” speech which I have shared with you below.
As I looked at Martin Luther King’s statue I wish I could have met him when he was alive. I was only 11 years when Dr King was assassinated, yet I remember he was a dynamic and courageous leader. His statue really doesn’t do justice to the man he was. The video below does.
