At a rally in Memphis, Tennessee, Senator Hillary Clinton recalled seeing Dr. King speak.

Sen. Clinton: “Dr. King’s call to action that evening in Chicago led me to confront a world bigger and broader than the one I inhabited. He had a way of doing that, of pushing us outside our own comfort zone, of making it clear that we had to be part of the revolution that was going on. It wasn’t a revolution of guns. It was a revolution of hearts and minds, of attitudes and actions.”

Senator Obama spoke in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Sen. Obama: “Instead of having a politics that’s living up to Dr. King’s call for unity, we’ve had a politics that’s used race to drive us apart, when all this does is feed the forces of division and distraction and stop us from solving our problems.”
