Yesterday was an interesting albeit unusual day for me. It all started with an innocent question from the girls of whether the American slaves had a "Moses" which led me to discover that it was exactly the 44th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr's assassination. I watched portions of vintage speeches and then got inspired to scrapbook a layout on King which I felt really needed to be wrapped up on the same day of April 4. It dawned on me that I was precisely 4 months old when he was assassinated so I rummaged through the few photos I had from childhood ( ~ I was daughter #4 so photos are few for me!) and, lo and behold, I had photos from April 1968. I found King's famous "I had a dream" and "I have been to the mountaintop" speeches in written format and photos of him in US national archives online which I printed out along with the headlines from the New York Times for April 5, 1968 announcing his death online.
Isn't it interesting how something or someone can provoke a reaction? And how this can unexpectedly affect a day or a lifetime?
