Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his final speech from a Memphis pulpit on April 3, 1968.
He was assassinated one day later.
He knew, as Moses before him, that he would not taste deliverance before death. But like Moses on the mountaintop, he would proclaim its promise from afar.
May we, too, look long and step tirelessly toward justice.
May we, too, endeavor to embrace the imago Dei in all.

Micah 6:8 [/perfectpullquote]
