Today is his actual birthday. In 1983 President Regan signed a bill that named the third Monday in January as the holiday observance “Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday.

I like this quite of his- “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

Any ideas, I’m on recess duty in Southern Illinois and a large jet with 4 small planes accompanying it flew over around 2:33 pm. I just now saw a jet with radar equipment on top fly over, heading same direction, but to the north of other flight. To high to see with naked eye any call numbers. Small planes were fighter jets, based on shape and sound, but they looked very small compared to the jet.
