“I just want to do God’s will. And he’s allowed me to go 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.”
-Martin Luther King, Jr., April 3, 1968, the night before his assassination
BF:
GREAT quote…!
The pic is of the 1963 March on Washington.
The quote was made in 1968 while supporting striking Sanitation Workers in Memphis.
However, you are right…the quote was delivered just prior to his assassination (but in Memphis in 1968).

Some great names, but I can’t figure out how no one’s mentioned Sam Cooke…
He died later (i.e. not in his 20s or 30s), but Carl Sagan I think was taken too early.
Looked up Malcolm X in wiki and found a nice bio

My bad, I meant the bio of Malcolm X: The Autobiography of Malcolm X as narrated to Alex Haley. Time magazine rates it as one of the five most important nonfiction books of the 20th century. Wish I knew what the other 4 were.
Charlie “Bird” Parker
Died at age 34
Along with Dizzy Gillespie and Theolonius Monk, and later expanded on by Miles Davis and John Coltrane, formed the Foundation of what we call “Jazz” today.

Just a cool picture of Monk (playing the piano) while I was searching for info on Charlie Parker…

Question for you guys:
Without seeming too philosophical and/or religious, a lot of these peoples lives were FAR from being “wasted”.
Some made contributions that have Lived on long after their Deaths…
Thoughts?

(P.S. You guys are GREAT!)
