May Freedom Ring


Martin Luther King, Jr.
January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968

"So let freedom ring. From the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire, let freedom ring. From the mighty mountains of New York, let freedom ring. From the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania, let freedom ring. But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia. Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. And when this happens, when we let it ring, we will speed that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last, free at last/Thank God Almighty, we're free at last."

** The Words of Dr. King, 1963 **

May we as Americans, and with God's speed, let freedom ring - and may we as humanity recognize that God created all men equal.

Hi Karen, May we, indeed. And may we listen to ALL the words of this prophet to America, martyred that we might have justice and equality.
