Closing Thought –21Jan19
Today is Martin Luther King Day, a federal holiday, to celebrate the life and times of the famous civil rights activist…..I am sure that many of my fellow bloggers will jump to the cause….
I would like to do something a little different for the day…..that is joining in the call for an in-depth investigation into his assassination……
To mark Martin Luther King Jr. Day a group of academics, journalists, lawyers, Hollywood artists, activists, researchers and intellectuals, including two of Robert F. Kennedy’s children, are calling for new investigations into four assassinations of the 1960s.
On the occasion of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a group of over 60 prominent American citizens is calling upon Congress to reopen the investigations into the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Signers of the joint statement include Isaac Newton Farris Jr., nephew of Reverend King and past president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference; Reverend James M. Lawson Jr., a close collaborator of Reverend King; and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, children of the late senator. The declaration is also signed by numerous historians, journalists, lawyers and other experts on the four major assassinations.

Enough Said!
In closing those important speeches of MLK, Jr……
He is worth commemorating. But as I said on another blog, his ‘Day’ seems to come around faster every year! Must be my age. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
Yes it does…..and old age does have its thing….chuq
More money spent chasing down unending rabbit holes. No answers are going to be found .
Better to spend the money on the border barrier and get everyone back to work.
Almost everything comes sooner as you get older, but not everything.
There is no one outside the Trump and his boyz that want this wall…..especially the only GOP rep from Texas….chuq
