Label Text“We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop….And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man.” --Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., at a speech in support of the striking sanitation workers in Memphis, on April 3, 1968, the day before his assassination.Ernest C. Withers
