Me, too, Jess.  Any time I hear his voice I get the chills.

MLK trivia:

Anyone know the last conversation he had before his assassination?

It was a debate/argument with Ralph Abernathy and another friend about dinner.  They wanted something more "high end", he wanted soul food (ribs, mac and cheese, corn bread, etc.)  They walked out of the Memphis motel and the driver said Dr. King would want a jacket, even though April, still chilly.  When he came back out w/ jacket is when he was assassinated.
