I wouldn't have it any other way than to have the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as the first Hall of Famer. Dr. King is held in the highest regard by me and is one of the rare people I find to be fascinating in his beliefs, thoughts, morals, and overall being. He's a top-three most fascinating, for sure.
The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King's Autobiography is one of the greatest pieces of literature that I've ever read. Dr. King's words, much like his charismatic speeches, are thoughtful, inspiring, challenging, and life-changing.
Throughout the existence of Dome Pondering, I've written many posts with his ideals in mind and have also used many of his quotes to either get a point across or, as seen every MLK Day, simply to ignite the spirit of Dr. King.
