MLK 50+ years later

We were all involved in the death of John Kennedy.  We tolerated hate; we tolerated the sick stimulation of violence in all walks of life; and we tolerated the differential application of law, which said that a man's life was sacred only if we agreed with his views.  ~Martin Luther King, Jr., Why We Can't Wait, 1963


Change "death" to "shooting" and "John Kennedy" to Congresswoman Giffords, and MLK Jr is still applicable today, 50 years later.
