POTUS just dropped the Mic for the ages.

37. I was in 1st grade in 1968 when MLK was assassinated

And the elementary school that I attended wanted to have an assembly to mark the shocking but solemn event that April, and they had nothing to provide a backdrop for what became a hastily arranged program... And it just so happened that my mother had recently purchased a silk-screen print from the daughter of her neighbor, that was part of a series on the civil rights struggle that was ongoing at the time... And when the school principal asked if anyone had *anything* they could use for the assembly, she volunteered her print - which had MLK and Ralph Abernathy front and center, surrounded by a few sets of impressionist images of people being attacked by dogs and women standing around on a corner waiting. The imagery was a composition that focused on the Montgomery boycott in 1956 sparked by Rosa Parks's act of defiance in 1955, where MLK was an active participant and organizer of carpools for the residents who were refusing to use the buses. And so the framed print was placed on a large easel on the auditorium stage, the top was draped in black velvet, and it became the centerpiece for the assembly program. I have it hanging on my wall right now. It'll be 50 in a few years...

Here you had an assembly filled with MLK's "little children" who he hoped that one day, would be judged like all the other little children... with respect and dignity.
