Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King… From Mitt Romney Central
At 33, he was championing civil rights with President John Kennedy. At 34, he took America’s breath away with his “I Have a Dream” speech. At 35, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. At 39, he was assassinated. His legacy of freedom and inspiration continues on…
Dr. King:
“At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.”
“I am not interested in power for power’s sake, but I’m interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good.”
“Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”
Martyred in the struggle for equality and freedom…
January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968
Early morning, April four
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride.
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
UPDATE – Governor Romney tweeted this today:
Today we recognize Martin Luther King Jr. as a champion for civil rights and a reminder that we must protect the freedom and equality of all.

Thanks, Dan. I’ll update my article to include Gov Romney’s tweet.
Whenever I hear that U2 song I’m reminded of the fact that it wasn’t early morning on April 4th that he was shot, but in the evening. 6:01PM to be exact … just a little factoid…
