40 years later, we remember Dr. King
by the Beloved Community Center
Apr. 4, 2008
Forty years ago, on April 4th, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee as he stood with sanitation workers fighting against dehumanizing and unjust conditions.
We join with brothers and sisters across the world who mourn the loss of this great leader and celebrate his life and dream. We particular remember his naming, on April 4, 1967, of the giant triplets of evil, "racism, extreme materialism, and militarism," and join with him in calling for a "true revolution of values" in which we work toward racial, economic, and social justice.
We are blessed to draw on Dr. King's legacy and to continue his work of building the beloved community.
