I know I'm a couple of days behind the 40th anniversary of MLK's assassination. But I was reading a comment on Wonkette, and it really reminded me of how much we lost. The commenter (is that a word?) pointed out that:
MLK was 26 when he organized the Montgomery Bus boycott, 34 when he gave his "I Have A Dream" speech, 35 when he won the Nobel Peace Prize and 39 when he was assassinated.
He always seemed older to me, probably because he did so much and was already such a legend.
