How do you define danger? Is it something that comes against you to destroy or harm your very existence? Well, this is what some back in and around 1968 felt as they pulled the trigger to murder the man of God in cold blood outside of the Lorraine Motel.

A young man and minister, leader and father, husband and mentor, not only to the black people, but if any individual is not afraid of the truth, Rev. Dr. King was a leader to them as well.

When the truth gets you condemned by mankind or even plotted against and killed by mankind, it shows that the world still needs to learn to accept honesty instead of being committed to lies.

The only reason why some racists considered Rev. Dr. King the most dangerous man in America is that he with the power from God Almighty spoke the truth, which would eventually cut their so called kingdom built on lies and hate into pieces. This is very much like Jesus and why He Himself was hated by many before His crucifixion and afterward until this day. The Truth. Love. Why many people hate it...we will never know.

Rev. Dr. King was harmless. Even after being stabbed in his chest, he didn't want the woman prosecuted and he didn't retaliate, but said that she needed help. Just like a true man of God doing what he has learned of Jesus. Anyone who can take the life of someone else at the blink of an eye truly did and does need help. Sprititual help, mental help. There was then and still is a lack of love.

Rev. Dr. King brought all of this out in his speeches - not just one - but in them all. He was not afraid because he knew as a Christian man that to live is Christ and to die is gain. Not wanting to die, but not fearing it is what that simply means. He was going to live out his purpose and though it seems that he was killed by a man in conjunction with the government, the Truth of God that he spoke and his dream along with his memory will live on. God's Word will never die.

That is real and the truth. Thank God for sending Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

To everyone who hasn't visited the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN, which is now the Civil Rights Museum, it one of the most important places to visit if one wants to see all of the things that America still must overcome - white and black.
