ATLANTA, Georgia - President Joe Biden told Americans to look towards Martin Luther King Jr’s life for lessons on repairing their divisions, extremism and injustice, as he become the first sitting US president to speak at a Sunday service in the civil rights leader’s church in Atlanta.
“Are we a people who will choose democracy over autocracy,” Mr Biden asked. “We have to choose a community over chaos. Are we the people going to choose love over hate? These are the questions of our time and the reason I am here.” Sunday would have been King’s 94th birthday. He was assassinated at age 39 in 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee, by avowed segregationist James Earl Ray. King was pastor of Ebenezer church from 1960 until his death.
