    What a great reading to end today with and begin tomorrow.

    I came across this quote earlier and Letter from Birmingham Jail drove the point home.

    Quote
    In the eyes of the press and most of America, King emerged as a uniquely powerful leader. But how did this process occur? What made King a superstar? The answer to this question can be stated in a single word: language.

    Oooh! Great quote, Inky! Thanks!

    It's so true. As a former grad student who has read a whole lot of words (words...words!) I don't get chills from very much. King's writing can do it to me. I revere the man's writing ability like pretty much no one else.

    And the fact that he used that gift to such wonderful and noble ends just blows my mind.
