Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Earlier this morning (last night) I posted a little chunk from an article/talk delivered by the sainted Father Richard John Neuhaus. While a Lutheran pastor is Brooklyn, NY during the 60's Father Neuhaus became heavily involved in the Civil Right's movement. He knew Dr. King, he worked with Dr. King. The congregation he served was The Lutheran Church of St. John the Evangelist in Williamsburg. I had the pleasure of interning there last summer.

Dr. King was and IS an important figure for American politics, African Americans, and the church. His impact is beyond words. Heres a link to a video that shows that influence:
