No one who was alive and sentient failed to recognize the importance of the moment when
in August 1963 - a hell of a year - Martin Luther King spoke to a huge crowd from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 bill was supported by John F. Kennedy and steered into law by Texan Lyndon Baines Johnson through the Senate after JFK's assassination in November 1963.
Ironically a shameless race baiter has today on the Rev. ML King national holiday, taken possession for the second time of the White House.
On this grave occasion it is appropriate , like Lincoln at Gettysburg ,100 years before King spoke at th e Lincoln Memorial "that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
