Had coffee this am with a man that went to one of his speeches. He was there with a group of about 10 people - all white. He told me it was a very moving experience and that Dr. King even made mention of them and was happy to have them there.
He said King included something in his speech to the effect about "not wanting to be their brothers in law, that he wanted to be their brothers." (not a direct quote)
I thought that was pretty cool for a chance meeting with a random person.
