Photo from today day below. Some background first.

This photo says so much to me. Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated while supporting members in the Memphis AFSCME sanitation strike. I am one proud retired AFSCME member.

“I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered this speech in support of the striking sanitation workers at Mason Temple in Memphis, TN on April 3, 1968 — the day before he was assassinated.
