The mountaintop April 4, 2008 zuzu 40 years ago, the day after delivering this speech, he was assassinated.
When he says “I may not get there with you…” it’s because he had just heard this: (FBI spoken warning starts at 2:40–I’ll bet the real one was a lot scarier than any CNN-hired actor!) The idea that he heard this threat, and CONTINUED ONWARD? Such courage and faith are what I most fervently wish for myself. Such spiritually-based political bravery is almost inconceivable to me.
