Happy 80th Birthday, Martin Luther King Jr.
Born on this day in 1929.Others born in 1929: Four-minute-miler Roger Bannister, jazz man Bill Evans, and actress Audrey Hepburn.
Distinguished company. But even in that crowd, MLK stands out.

Dr. King's Premonition
Last year The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ran a 40th anniversary feature on the death of Martin Luther King.It's well worth a visit on this week of Dr. King's 80th birthday. The feature is packed full of photos, story archives, links, and videos like the one below, with his friends talking about the days before he died.
(The AJC has also added a new link for 2009: To their celebration of the inauguration of Barack Obama. A nice touch.)
