RE: I've Been To The Mountaintop ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

[Guest guest]

Dear Amarnath,

 

 

 

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was

such a beautiful soul… we were truly blessed to have him grace our planet.

 

 

 

Today and always, I pray that we may all work towards peace, love and unity!

that unfolds all its petals spreading the fragrance of goodness is the

choicest offering at the altar of God" - Amma

"I’ve Been To The Mountaintop" ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

 

 

 

Martin Luther King, Jr. showed us that there is no shame in death as

did Gandhi, Jesus and other great souls.

"I've Been To The Mountaintop"

 

Tomorrow is the 37th anniversary of the assassination of Martin

Luther King, Jr. Today is the 37th anniversary of his last speech in

Memphis, Tennessee.

.....

And they were telling me, now it doesn't matter now. It really

doesn't matter what happens now. I left Atlanta this morning, and as

we got started on the plane, there were six of us, the pilot said

over the public address system, "We are sorry for the delay, but we

have Dr. Martin Luther King on the plane. And to be sure that all of

the bags were checked, and to be sure that nothing would be wrong

with the plane, we had to check out everything carefully. And we've

had the plane protected and guarded all night."

 

And then I got to Memphis. And some began to say the threats, or talk

about the threats that were out. What would happen to me from some of

our sick white brothers?

 

"Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult

days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to

the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live

a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about

that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up

to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised

land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight,

that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy,

tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."
