In August of 1963, I was a recent high school graduate,
heading off to college to start studying Electronic Engineering. I saw MLK's speech on television. Two years later, more or less, I had dropped out of college and found myself in Birmingham, Alabama, listening to another speech by MLK, Jr. In those two years, my life had changed. How much I did not know at the time.
It turned out to be a profound change. Thanks, Dr. King!
