The Letters of Martin Luther King, Jr.

On this day of thankful remembrance for the life and accomplishments of Martin Luther King, Jr., I would like to invite everyone to read the letters available both to and from him at L Preview etters of Note. I also strongly suggest everyone reads his "A Letter from a Birmingham Jail." Here's a transcription. His words live on and I am thankful for them. -Donovan

Goodness! You make me want to dig out my Dr. King books. sigh I promised I wouldn't. Receiving my last letter from the POTUS today makes me want to do it even more. I wonder if reading Langston Hughes . . . Naw. It has to be King or nothing.

Thank you.
