I turned 18 months old the day the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tenn. You can probably imagine that I don't remember it.
But, today, I join millions of Americans in a look back at King's legacy of civil disobedience and respectful challenge of authority while stressing non-violence as the most effective method of change.
Check out Friday's edition of The News-Herald, which includes a story on our meeting with six members of our readership area who discussed the status of King's dream for a world in which skin color didn't matter.
The package extends online, too, with a peek into the conference room as the participants shared how racism touched their lives and how they think the world has changed since King energized America.
