Remembering America's Greatest Spiritual, Ethical and Political Leader, Martyr


Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.(January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968)

Had he not been martyred, could the Rev. Dr.King have been the United States of America's first African-American President? That would have been a remarkable dream. Despite, or perhaps because of, the despair triggered by his martyrdom, before his death, Dr. King predicted a Black US President within 25 years, countered to the more conservative prediction of 40 years by assassinated U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy.
