My
fellow Friends of Liberty,
Today you celebrate the all-too-short life of a man and also the
eternal spirit of humankind.
At thirty-five years of age, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was the
youngest person ever to win the Nobel Prize of Peace -- by
virtue of his courageous, eloquent calls for non-violence to
overcome racism, war, and poverty.
But verily, his message -- to all people -- was even more
fundamental: Have faith in God, country, and humanity.
The man was slain. The dream lives on.
Your obedient,
The Scarecrow
