His I. Q. was quite high, but his E.Q. (Empathy Quotient) was even higher.

"I knew and occasionally worked with Martin Luther King Jr. Quite simply, he was a man whose era called him to greatness. He didn't want the leadership mantle; indeed, when he was asked to lead the NAACP in Montgomery, he declined. Later, he decided to start, with Reverend Ralph David Abernathy and others, the Southern Christian Leadership conference, a temporary human and civil-rights organization. It exists today. Martin was as human as you and I. He was a pretty fair pool player. He liked to have fun and enjoy his friends in social gatherings. He was a very intelligent man; his IQ was quite high and he graduated with honors from some of America's best academic institutions. His doctorate was the crowning event of his young life, and later, his acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize added to his wealth of honors. His untimely death at the hands of an assassin was not unthought of nor unpredicted. Others had tried to kill him before. Indeed, he seemed to know the evening before it happened that his time was soon.

Martin Luther King Jr. was a rare man, a man of his time who was ahead of his time. Men and women like him do not grace humanity often, and when they do, they are generally unappreciated. Too frequently, they must die before others give them the respect they deserved and earned. Humanity has much to learn."
