“We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn’t matter to me now, because I’ve been to the mountaintop … I’ve 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” (Martin Luther King Jr., speech at the Masonic Temple, Memphis, TN, April 3, 1968). Less than 24 hours after these prophetic words, King was tragically assassinated.
