This week's focus is on Martin Luther King Jr. - he would have been 78 years with us today ...
Georgia Congressman John Lewis, who worked closely with Dr. King, observed the following on Martin Luther King Day in 2002,
"He knew that both peoples [i.e., Blacks and Jews] were uprooted involuntarily from their homelands. He knew that both peoples were shaped by the tragic experience of slavery. He knew that both peoples were forced to live in ghettoes, victims of segregation. He knew that both peoples were subject to laws passed with the particular intent of oppressing them simply because they were Jewish or black. He knew that both peoples have been subjected to oppression and genocide on a level unprecedented in history."
