WE REMEMBER -- Bro. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Today, we reflect on the memory and the achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The night Dr. King gave his final speech he said, “I'm delighted to see each of you here tonight in spite of a storm warning. You reveal that you are determined to go on anyhow.”

“I See the Promised Land,” was given at his last public appearance in Memphis, Tennessee, at Mason Temple. King was in Memphis to support a strike by garbage workers.

The following evening, at 6:01 p.m., Bro. King was assassinated.

Bro. R. S. Lewis, now 91, who embalmed and prepared Bro. King's body. (Bro. Lewis marks 72 years in the Fraternity.) This opportunity was in preparation for a fraternal documentary that will be released later this year.

We look forward to the testament of Bro. Dr. King’s legacy in August. Get your blazers!  More information about this at the jump.
