Remembering A Great Man

A link to TIME magazine's archive of articles on the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  http://www.time.com/time/archive/collections/0,21428,c_mlk,00.shtml

A link from the National Archives discussing Dr. King's deposition on copyright infringement

And a link to Stanford's collection of his papers

The role of archives in preserving social memory is especially significant when we pause to reflect on the very lasting impact a single person can have when their acchievements are celebrated rather than allowed to be forgotten.
