One cold January evening about 10 years ago, I was walking in Philadelphia, when a stranger called out to me from across the narrow street. "Hey," he said, "Can I get your number?" I smiled politely and kept walking, but he gave it one more shot. "C'mon — it's what Dr. King would've wanted!" And that is how I met the love of my life. | One cold January evening about 10 years ago, I was walking in Philadelphia, when a stranger called out to me from across the narrow street.

In January 1968, Public Broadcast Laboratory sent a camera crew to Mississippi to document Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as he traveled all over the South to rally support for the Poor People's Campaign scheduled for May. The documentary was never finished due to King's assassination on April 4, 1968. The film crew was with King at the hotel when he was shot and killed. | |||
