I found the one of Corretta kissing him with all the other people who looked so happy at that time in the comment section of TOD, where it was "Arapaho's" fav pic.

The "kiss" spoke to me too.

Of them. Of joy. Of love. Of the movement. Of the rightness and the power of it all.

Mostly I am so very grateful to have seen this for the first time. Thank you. I've seen some of him that were painful to look at because I could imagine a little of the burden he bore. But in the vast majority he was in complete control and gave none of that away. I admired that so much. His strength. That's what enabled him to lead the movement that changed history. I prayed he also had joy.

Today you showed me his joy. Thank you.

Despite all the hardships, I count myself so fortunate to have lived in these times.
