Today in history, 1968: Just after 6pm, a woman lost her husband, children lost their father, and the world lost a hero. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, leaving us with a mandate to carry on his work for equality, economic justice and civil rights. /1

All the god speed and blessings to you and your trailblazers in history and the future !!
