sw, you are a true southern gentleman and my admiration for you (already quite high) has just gone up several notches. Your post takes the sting away from some of the rather tacky posts that have unfortunately been posted on this thread. Bless you and may Mrs. King rest in peace.
there's enough unpleasant stuff in my life (what with the HATERS, fools, assorted lunatics & crazed DYs on the WBTS threads), without that.
Mrs. CSK rests in the arms of the RISEN Christ.

we college kids did NOT see them as any MORE special (at THAT time!)than any number of other Baptist pastors, who volunteered for the Mitchellville Restoration project. imVho, ALL of the VOLUNTEERS, who worked so very HARD on the project (for LONG hours & NO PAY!), are HEROES & SPECIAL!
MLK, Jr had his faults, as we ALL do. (i, for one, have a LEGION of faults/sins and am a poor excuse for a Christian.)
i liked the MAN, even though i regretted his faults. otoh, i wish that the "press" hadn't tried to make a PLASTER SAINT out of him.
imVho, MLK, Jr would have been embarrassed/humiliated about all that "hoopla" and particularly about having a "MLK Day". he was basically just a country PREACHER & an HUMBLE man, who "fate" picked to be a "leader of men". i think he did his best & that is all anyone can do.
