Summary
Remembering DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. on his Official Celebration Day Monday, January 19, 2026 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead but it really doesn't matter with me now Because I have been to the mountaintop. I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will And he has allowed me to go up to the mountaintop And I have looked over And I have seen The Promised Land. I may not get there with you But I want you to know tonight, That we, as a people, Will get to the Promised Land. So I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen The Glory Of the coming of the Lord" - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. April 3, 1968 at the Mason Temple Church of God in Christ Headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee, 24 hours before he was shot dead while standing outside on the second floor balcony of Room 306 of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis.
