2. I admire him, and I think much of what he thought and lived.

were also a celebration of the meaning of Easter.

Those ideas of doing what a person believes is right, not for oneself, but for a better society, in that spirit of non violence and love. Although not perfect, he is a mostly good man in my view.

3. I was beginning to think everyone had forgotten!
I'm not seeing anything in any of the forums about this.

4. let's also remember he was a great man, and a reverend, whose religious views helped form his
political views and actions

many here claim "religion should play no part in politics" and "people should keep their religious beliefs to themselves" and such...

let's thank god the reverend mlk did no such thing
