"Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has it's place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over and I've seen the promised land... So I'm happy tonite. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man."
--"I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech, April 3, 1968 (the day before his assassination)
Happy Birthday to an inspiring man.
