MLK Anthem
For me there is an anthem for Martin Luther King. That song is "Shed a Little Light" by James Taylor and it is one of several excellent numbers on his 1991 New Moon Shine album. Below I've pasted the beginning verses.
Let us turn our thoughts today
To martin luther king
And recognize that there are ties between us
All men and women
Living on the earth
Ties of hope and love
Sister and brotherhood
That we are bound together
In our desire to see the world become
A place in which our children
Can grow free and strong
We are bound together
By the task that stands before us
And the road that lies ahead
We are bound and we are bound
"Shed a Little Light" is performed in the vein of a spiritual and it never fails to uplift my spirits whenever I hear it. I've included a link where you may be able to hear the song
