On MLK Day...

Martin's view

     The view Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. saw as he left church during his time as pastor of what is now called the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church just down from the Alabama Capitol. The view is little changed from his time.

     Directly across the street was the old Alabama Supreme Court building, where several historic legal battles involving him were fought.

     Some Southern States school districts have cancelled today's King Holiday to make up for snow days, prompting criticism that it is always the first holiday to be cut.
