April 2nd, 1968

Martin Luther King, Jr. didn’t know it at the time, but his “Mountaintop Speech” would be his last. His moving and prophetic words on behalf of Memphis sanitation workers would echo through history, uplifting and inspiring generations to come. One of the greatest, most inspiring orations of all time by one of the greatest orators of all time. Two days later, Dr. King was assassinated while on the balcony of his hotel.
