King

I once found myself standing  about twenty feet from Martin Luther King, Jr.  He was talking to a small group of UCLA students, and I joined them. At other  times--I was an unremarkable working class student--I shook hands with JFK and voted for Robert  Kennedy in the California primary. The murders of these three leaders changed the direction of the decades that followed, the years of Reagan, Clinton, Bush and tRump.
