119. I was at the "I Have a Dream" speech but sad to say I don't remember

it; I was really little. My dad had asked Dr. King to be the keynote speaker/preacher at a national Lutheran youth convention in 1963, and had done some work with the SCLC, and he thought it would be a good thing to go to, good experience for me and my brother. My brother is ten years older than me; he remembers it well, and is a total Reich Wing Nut. I was hardly more than a baby, but MLK is one of my heroes, always has been. But he was a hero to my dad too, and Daddy was always my MAIN hero, so that figures :-)
