while thanking you for your thoughtful post? Really for all of his life Dr. King faced the struggle that we will face again come Friday. He faced it and he fought it and it made him strong and it made us strong.

I understand the sadness, but it's time to lift our eyes. Let them bring on the dogs and the fire hoses and the baseball bats and even the cop's bullets. We will not fall.

To borrow the words of the great man . . .

Still we rise.
