Let’s keep Dr. Martin Luther King’s Dream alive!

04/04/2026

On April 3, back in Memphis, King gave his last sermon, saying, “We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn’t matter with me now, because I’ve been to the mountaintop … And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the promised land.”

One day after speaking those words, Dr. King was shot and killed by a sniper. Dr. King had come to Memphis to support sanitation workers - continuing his lifelong commitment to justice, dignity, hope, and equality for all people. In the days that followed, President Lyndon B. Johnson called for a national day of mourning, and thousands gathered to honor Dr. King’s life.
