What I remember most about MLK was he making a lot of speeches while trying to do something what he felt was the right thing to do: and that is for white America (of which I am) to stop hating the African-Americans (and I know a few who do).

After he was shot, I can remember Chet Huntley of NBC news doing a 1-hour or 30-minute special on MLK. He tearfully said good night when he finished.

I learned more about MLK long after what happened in Memphis. The only time I talked about MLK with another fellow, who was also white, was that we both agreed that he was a good man.

It is a shame that Gov. Wallace of Alabama didn't see it that way.
