        Thank you!!! MLK wrote in this letter: "..We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people..." Still true. So very sadly.

        Is there a story behind the letterhead?

        My father worked at Armstrong for 40 years. The plant in GA manufactured drop-ceiling type ceiling tile. Why this would be avialable to him is beyond me and I’m intrigued

        Always thought it was written in the margins of The NY Times that he was reading. I teach and discuss this important document every year

        If you’ve never read it make sure you get a chance soon. It’s not long but very worth the time.

        I can't recall the number of times I've read this document and each time I'm stunned by the message and delivery considering the horrific circumstances under which it was crafted. Amazing.

        Martin Luther King ..I have been so disappointed with the white church leadership... Of course there are some exceptions.... Just as today I am so disappointed with the majority ofchurch leadership. There silence speaks volumes..
