Beautiful video tribute of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. from Senator Hillary Clinton.

One of my favorite stories about Hillary Rodham is how her youth minister, Rev. Don Jones, took her and other youth from their church, into Chicago to hear Dr. King speak, and she got to shake his hand.

But more importantly, I love this particular passage from Sen. Clinton's book Living History:

We visited black and hispanic churches in Chicago's inner city for exchanges with their youth groups.

In the discussions we had sitting around church basements, I learned that, despite the obvious differences in our environments, these kids were more like me than I ever could have imagined.
