Dr Martin Luther King Jr
the year 1929, a timeline
of segregation
a King in creation
a father, not just an activist
a martyr, a baptist
in the footsteps of Martin Sr.
a long tenure of pastors
a master speaker, a preacher
as well
he was nothing frail
a show and tell leader
we still use heaters
against all he stood for
violence is more than ever
why do we remain severed?
a stream of tears of what he
endured for years
a member an the executive
committe, NAACP
his neck on the line for you and me
his first demonstration of contemporary
times in this nation
a beautiful organization
the bus boycott described by Gunnar Jahn
in his speech presentation
a true Saint
Negro leader in the first rank
over 6 million miles in travel
2500 hundred speeches unraveled
Birmingham jail nonesense
the coalition of conscience
than at the age of 35
the earning of the nobel peace prize
"I Have A Dream"
the greatest speech alive
