Well, 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've been to the mountaintop.
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's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over -- and 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!

Today we celebrate the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. Tomorrow, we triumphantly mark a human rights milestone. It shall be one of the most memorable days in history.

I hope you enjoy it. I topped it off with some neat-O special effects.

Saturday saw the O-Train lay tracks from Philly to D.C. Along the way, Barack picked up Joe in Delaware, speaking before a Wilmington crowd of 30,000, and then they sped to Baltimore, where they spoke to 40,000 more.
It was a moving sight, as citizens from all corners waved flags from overpasses, rail stations, and roof tops.
