40 years ago today Dr. King was assassinated. In our high tech information age, I was struck by how little we have heard his voice since then. It’s one thing to talk about him; it’s another to hear it in his own words. That is an opportunity we have today, and I urge you to take some time today to listen to the man who has inspired so much in his life and his death. Aside from his self sacrifice and potent words, I was most touched by the coverage from his funeral, when his voice is played overhead…
