Dinner Guest #5

Around the table so far South Africa, Albania/India, Britain, and the Netherlands are represented.  Today I add an American to the mix in Martin Luther King Jr. (1929 - 1968).  Also a Nobel Peace Prize winner, King wore many hats - Baptist minister, civil rights activist, among other - and as with Wilberforce, King could not view the roles separately.  As Mother Teresa had spoken directly in opposition to abortion, King opposed the war in Vietnam with much criticism.  Where would America be today, had it not been for Martin Luther King Jr.?  And I also wonder, how much farther would they have gone in the civil rights movement had King been around longer?
