Did you either attend or watch the March on Washington 50 years ago?

6. Too young. I first became aware of Dr King when he was murdered, his muder being

another in a string of political killings during my childhood, I already knew the formal definition of 'assassination' which included being a head of State or elected leader. I went to my Mom, poor thing, and asked her why they were saying Dr King was assassinated rather than murdered, because he was not elected nor a head of State. Mom looked at me as if she perhaps regretted having a kid with a dictionary asking such questions at age 8...then she told me that it was the proper word, because he was a leader she said at first 'he was the leader of his people, and he had a dream for them' then she stopped and was lost in thought and the she said 'no, he had a dream for all people, not just his own but all of us, because he belonged to God who sent him. He was sent by God, like Moses in the Bible, not like any other man in our country, like Moses and he knew he would die before he saw that promised dream come true, but he did God's work anyway.'
God bless my Mom.
