The Axiom Amnesia Theory


Are We Living MLK’s Dream? (E530)

January 19, 2015

"I've been to the mountaintop..." Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke these words the day before he was assassinated, seemingly expressing the premonition that his life was nearing an end. Undoubtedly, this expression not only causes one to reflect on Dr. King's life and principles, but also spurs introspection into our own lives. Have we seen our own proverbial mountaintops? If the end were near, could we look back on our lives and feel that we, too, had reached the mountaintop. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri acknowledge the observance of the national Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, sharing thoughts and experiences from their visit to the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN.

Topics discussed include Heit & Cheri's first-hand account of their visit to the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, museum exhibits, cultural and historical significance of the museum, what it was like to actually visit the place where MLK was struck down, renovation of the museum to update the technology, Jacqueline Smith's protest of the museum and gentrification in downtown Memphis, why people should visit the museum, and more!
