In the Name of Love

Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love...
from U2's song Pride (In the Name of Love)
Granted I have been busy taking care of my daughter this morning and so I have only casually seen the news today, but I would think as historical as today is in modern U.S. history even a casual scanning of the news should have mentioned this. But I am disappointed because I didn't hear this in the news today: forty years ago today Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, TN.
