A personal story and a question for Democrats
First my story,
I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. King over MLK weekend in 1999. I was working for an organization that sponsored events featuring high profile speakers engaging in roundtable discussions. We held our event on Saturday, and the MLK service at Ebenezer Church was the next morning. I spent a some quality time that weekend with the guest speakers including Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Ambassador Andrew Young and especially Nobel winner John Hume. What a great man. Anyway, Mrs. King was also a roundtable participant. I said hello and exchanged a few quick pleasantries. What I remember most was her quiet dignity. The way she sat, listened to people talk. The way she was pleasant throughout the entire day as an endless stream approached her to say hello. Just a classy woman, that is what I remember about her.
I think most Americans feel that way about Mrs. King whether they met her or not.
Now my questionâ?¦
How do you think these absurd partisan funerals sit with the vast majority of Americans?
