Today is the 50th anniversary of the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. -- a tragic end to the life of an American hero who strove to end racial injustice. For me, there's one song that comes to mind for this week's Retro Video of the Week, U2's musical tribute to Dr. King, "Pride (In the Name of Love)," off of the band's 1984 Unforgettable Fire album. Even though the timing of Dr. King's death is erroneously reported as "early morning" (when it was, in fact early evening), the message of the song rings true. Don't be dicks to each other, people.
