Why we should remember today
Two years ago we went on a cruise down the Mississippi with the Bandlers and the Katz’, sponsored by the Cornell Alumni Association. We started in Memphis, and one of the places we saw was the Civil Rights museum, which is housed in the Lorraine Motel, where Rev. King was killed the day after this speech.
Then we heard a speech by Rev. Billy Kyles, who was with Dr. King that fateful morning. Mike Katz told us all about traveling to march in Selma while he was in college–he got arrested and left town quickly.
We learned a lot about the civil rights movement that trip; I think it opened our eyes and our hearts. Enjoy again one of the great moment in American history.
