Thanks for taking to post your thoughts on leadership. Several years ago I was teaching AP US History at Pope High School in Marietta. We were studying the Civil Rights movement and watched part of a great PBS series called "Eye on the Prize". One of the episodes showed a large portion of Dr. King's last speech in Memphis before he was shot. To this day I still get chills thinking about that speech because it was evident that Dr King knew that the Lord had him on a mission. Dr King also seemed to know that the Lord might call him home at any time so he was not wasting time or words in fulfilling the duties that the Lord had called him too. It was both humbling and an encouragement to see a man pursue his calling to the best of his ability. Blessings - Jason Dan,

I love this post about Dr. King. What a great man. I had the pleasure of taking my children to Memphis last week, and touring the National Civil Rights museaum/Lorraine motel where he was killed. What a place. I was truly overcome with emotion there. My children were worried as I honestly could not control my emotions- it was so odd to feel so much anger as well as a great feeling of gratitude to those who fought for equality for all before my time on earth. It was so overwhelming to be able to read about all the hate so many have had to endure, while at the same time reading about all the history of battles with rascism that were finally won! How blessed our lives are for the great Dr. King and his influence and ultimate sacrifice. I hope you have been able to visit this historic place or will be able to in the future. My children, only 10, 8, and 5, I believe were not able to grasp fully what segregation meant or what sacrifices were made by so many others to allow people of all race and nationality to enjoy equality. I too am so thankful for Dr. King and all who were a part of the Civil Rights movement and continue to be today. I am incredably jealous of your time with his daughter- what a great blessing! Thank you for sharing your thoughts as we celebrate his great life! Hey Dan! I love this post about Dr. King. What a great man.
