Recalling 'A Drum Major for Peace'

MLK once requested: "If any of you are around when I meet that day, I don't want a long funeral. If you get somebody to deliver the eulogy, tell them not to talk too long. Tell them not to mention that I have a Nobel Prize, that isn't important. Tell them not to mention that I have three or four hundred other awards. . . . I'd like somebody to mention that day that Martin Luther King tried to give his life helping others. I want you to say that I tried to be right on the war question. . . . "Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice, that I was a drum major for peace."
