MLK DAY: Nina Simone - "The King of Love Is Dead"

Though today is being celebrated for the current Obama Whitehouse and the accomplishments of Martin Luther King, Jr., I tend to reflect on the pain of a divided nation at the time of MLK's death back in April of 1968 (though I wasn't alive then) and hope that people can continue to educate themselves about other cultures and unite over common causes. The first time I heard this song by the great Nina Simone, it stuck with me. The mood, the heartfelt live performance and words should translate to everyone. Think about what you are doing to impact the world and reflect on someone who kept fighting for everyone.
