In Honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.

I've been reading the Autobiography of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on and off for the past year. This past Monday, though, I saw a documentary that inspired me to pick it up again. Martin Luther King, Jr.: A Documentary, Montgomery to Memphis is a riveting documentary. If you didn't think that 3-hour documentaries could hold your attention, think again. I highly recommend both the film and the book, although the book gives you a better sense of what an exceptional writer King was. May his legacy live on, and may more of us be emboldened to stand up for justice and truth as he did, even unto death.
