I just heard this on a morning news show here in Orlando. Yesterday was Martin Luther King Jr's birthday and the city of Ft Lauderdale held a memorial ceremony to honor MLK and an outstanding member of the Black comunity. For the occasion they decided to honor James Earl Jones.

Mr Jones was honored with a plaque commemorating the event....problem was the engraver made a little mistake when he engraved his name on the award. The plaque Therfore awarded to "James Earl Ray" to honor him for his work empowering the black community

i heard that the plaque, was not actually issued, as the error was found before the cerimony.

DAMN!!!  Good thing they caught it.  That would have been just a little embarrassing.

Without Martin Luther King, we wouldn't have a vision of America's deepest divide bridged by the fulfillment of America's greatest promise.

Without James Earl Ray, we wouldn't have a holiday in the middle of January.

When you go to post, there are three links below the typing window:

Board Code, Icon Legend, and Anim Legend.

Look at the Board Code one, and it will tell you how.
