John McCain Speaks on 40th Anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr. Assassination - Video 4/4/08
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.

Dr. King
Yes, Sen. McCain was very honest and courageous in coming to give honor to Dr. King and admit he was wrong in voting against the holiday. When I heard the booing, I yelled, "Oh Shut-up". I wish I could have been there to be supportive to Sen. McCain.
Same Reaction
Corbinet,
I had the same reaction when I heard the booing and jeering. McCain handled it with class, unlike those who booed him. Dr. King would have reacted very differently than those who booed McCain. Glad to have you here!
