“I have just returned from Georgia where I met with Dr. King’s sister and I can testify to the fact that Dr. King’s dream has materialized in reality. The Liberty bell that Dr. King rang continues to resonate today and God willing will continue resonating forever.
“He may have gone before us into God’s loving embrace, but like I told his son, Dr. Martin Luther King III, who I met in Atlanta, the man who had the Dream may have died, but his dream has been realized and the reality of it has made the world a better place. Happy birthday Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. GEJ”, he said.
