Martin Luther King, Jr., ha..."How long, not long!" Martin Luther King, Jr., had not only a heart for God and the people but also the heart of prophetic poet. <BR/><BR/>In 2004, I created a webpage about Dr. King and wrote a poem for my children to capture my childhood memories of this great man so he would be more than an Icon on posters and television to them. I felt I had not talked enough about Dr. King to them personally and wanted them to know how important his work was to me, for them, this nation. and planet. <BR/><BR/>Years later <A HREF="http://king.writingjunkie.net/" REL="nofollow">the page is still up</A>. It's not a slick page, but each year, December through May, visitors come through in increasing numbers, which has touched me. <BR/><BR/>I'm not touched so much because people are visiting a page I created or have used the poem for MLK programs. I'm touched because the visits show me people want to know more about Dr. King and understand what he stood for. Teachers from both urban and rural communities write me with questions sometimes or give me information because they know it's vital to keep his memory and words alive for our children. <BR/><BR/>The King legacy is a blessing to the world, not this nation's alone.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Rev, for this beautiful post. I enjoyed the clip at the end with the words and the music and how you put King's message in context of today.Vérité Parlant https://www.blogger.com/profile/09033679321805951686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668681914819794508.post-63028743695998334502009-01-21T16:40:00.000-08:002009-01-21T16:40:00.000-08:00@ Kymberly,I love Heschel too, especially for his ...@ Kymberly,<BR/>I love Heschel too, especially for his insights, i.e. "The Prophets."
