telegram from Martin Luther King Jr. 1960

Last night at our Storyteller's Guild meeting, an older gentleman stood up to tell his story...
it took us back to his days in SanFransico College. He KNEW that prejudice was rampant in the South and somehow he wanted to get involved in 'making things better for the coloured people of the South"...so he organized a rally in SanFransico etc etc...to make a long story very short..this is THE telegram that he received from Mr.King himself to acknowledge and thank him for his work etc.
Imagine all of us being able to see this telegram on THE anniversary of MartinLutherKing Day...
sent shivers over my body.
