Here is video of Sen. John McCain speaking in Memphis, TN, on the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., April 4, 2008.
Toward the end of his remarks, John McCain said he had been wrong to initially oppose the establishment of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day National Holiday, a statement met by a mixture of cheers and jeers from the crowd on hand. The national media has been playing that small clip endlessly today. McCain's full remarks are really quite good, and he was courageous to go there today and say what he did.

U.S. Senator John McCain today issued the following statement on the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:
"Today we commemorate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a great American taken from us all too soon. Dr. King stirred the conscience of our nation to ensure that the self-evident truths of human freedom held true for all Americans. The power of his work and vision was not ended forty years ago in Memphis. Across the world, men and women are living Dr. King's dream as they strive to extend the blessings of human liberty and human rights to all. Today, we mark a tragic day in our nation's history while honoring the work of a man who was the voice for our nation's highest ideals."
