Martin Luther King Drive Jr. Drive in words, sound and images

I continue to be impressed at how the different media tell stories in different ways. The latest case is this written story, this photo/audio slide show and sound, and this video, all about Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. And they are all really about Martin Luther King Jr.

Each presentation is both informative and moving in its own way. Listening to and comparing these should put to rest the old media types who keep popping up with complaints that they didn't get into journalism to take video or record sound. I defy anyone to listen to Dr. King's words and the gospel music (on the slide show) and not be inspired. That's a message that even the most powerful words on paper can't replicate.
