Monday evening I had the opportunity to pay my respects in person. It was an incredible experience. I stood in line for 3.5 hours before reaching Ebeneezer Baptist Church. It was a bonding experience for all of us who stood in line together. We all hugged each other when we finally made it to the sanctuary! Thinking of the many times Mrs. King marched for Civil Rights -- a few hours wait was really nothing. I barely got in line, because the Park Rangers closed the line at 10:40 p.m. I was interviewed by Fox Channel 5 News, but don't know if it was broadcast.
