A short while ago we talked about the Ultimate Sacrifice.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave it.
It is ironical he was killed in the process of helping to organize a march in support of garbage men.
It is ironical a man who preached non-violence died so violently.
It is not so ironical a man who in most of his speeches almost seemed to [say?] "I'm going to be killed soon," was [felled?] by an assassin's bullet.
But maybe one of the biggest [illegible] that in a country where people are murdered for their beliefs, you can now read this paper and complain that there wasn't enough sunshine during the break.
