Moses Medgar Martin Mountaintop

Moses Medgar Martin Mountaintop A long time ago, in a land far away. . . Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah. The Lord said to him, "This is the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying that I will give it to your descendants. I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there"

Then thousands of years passed. Then later, in 1963 A.D., civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers was assassinated in his own front yard in Jackson Mississippi.  Medgar carried a vision of freedom and dignity for his people, but he did not get to, in this earthly life, the promised Constitution/Emancipation Proclamation liberty and justice for all.

Later still, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, April 4, 1968.

On the night before his death, he spoke: "Well, I don't know what will happen now, we've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life; longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will.And He's allowed me to go up 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. And so I'm happytonight; I'm not worried about anything; I'm not fearing any mine. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord." Hear about it here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3hQNMr0A48&list=RDK3hQNMr0A48&start_radio=1
