MLK

MLK is one of my heroes...has been for years.  He was one of Leo's too.

Leo was the one to encouraged me to read some of King's work.  Looking back, I'm not surprised by this at all.  In his death, it has come to light - a bright beaming light - that Leo was very influential in my life.  Wanting me to learn - gain new perspectives, etc...

The song below is one of my favorites.  I remember when I saw Patty Griffin at the Ryman...she ended her show with this song...and I was blown away.   Listen to the words - it's from his last speech he delivered before he was killed.   I love who MLK was and what he represents.  If I could do a tiny fraction of what he did in his lifetime - I'd consider my life a great success.

Enjoy the song!
