Historic Weekend

November 27

It had been a beautiful weekend to visit our nation’s capital. We toured the White House with a group but President Johnson remained upstairs. On Sunday we attend a service at the National Cathedral where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered an inspiring message on loving each other and peace.

Driving to Connecticut that evening we hear President Johnson say he will concentrate on ending the ( Vietnam)war and will not seek reelection. The following Thursday Dr. King is assassinated in Memphis. It is a dark time for America. It would get worse.

“Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called sons of God.” (Matthew 5:9)
