“Martin Luther King is an inspiration to the citizens of America. A national holiday is celebrated in his honor in January every year. Upper left — Crypt, lower left — Morehouse College, center — Statue, upper right — Memorial, lower right — Chapel.”
It’s interesting that this card, published by APS, extols us to “let freedom ring into the Nineties” — when you consider that I bought this card in Publix just last October. My friend James had once theorized that some of my older cards, not postally used until a decade or more after they were published, might have sat on a rack in a drug store for years. I guess he’s right.

Cool card, and very appropriate considering what’s happening tomorrow. Personally I think it should be called “Civil Rights Day”. I have a lot of respect for MLK, but it’s not like he changed the country all by himself, and the struggle is not over.
