       | Great article. Oru view of history is all to common insular and
       | compressed - it puts things in context that MLK was walking
       | around Berlin at the same time as Hitler.

       | It's a small world. During Martin Luther King Jr. visit to Berlin
       | he was also awarded a honorary degree by the Theological School
       | of the Protestant Church of West Berlin. The theologian and
       | pastor handing over the degree during the ceremony is part of our
       | family history. We still have a picture of both of them during
       | the ceremony.

       | Here is a more detailed itinerary of MLKs visit to Berlin.
