Remember Martin Luther King, Jr

Several news stories noted the digital release of many of Martin Luther King, Jr's papers via The Martin Luther King Jr Archives.
The Spotlight drop down is fascinating.
There are nearly a million documents associated with the life of Martin Luther King Jr. These pages will present a more dynamic view than is often seen of Dr. King’s life and times. The documents reveal the scholar, the father, and the pastor. Through these papers we see the United States of America at one of its most vulnerable, most honest and perhaps most human moments in history. There are letters bearing the official marks of royalty and the equally regal compositions of children. You will see speeches, telegrams, scribbled notes, patient admonitions and urgent pleas. This spotlight shows you a glimpse of the remarkable history within this collection.
Thank you JP Morgan Chase for making this possible.
