“Like anybody, I would like to live a long life,” he said, speaking without notes to the church rally on April 3, 1968. “Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now. I just want to do God’s will. And he’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land.”

Dr. King was assassinated the next day.

That was forty years ago today.
