police say the car was traveling down mlk highway at more than 100 miles an hour when that driver lost control. thankfully, though, only four people were hurt. that's pretty amazing considering this crash happened around dinner time. 6:30 yesterday perhaps because it was a holiday there weren't as many people as usual inside the kfc at that hour but you can imagine 6:30, dinner time, a very busy time for fast food chains and for restaurants in the area. so it could have been much, much worse. i want to show you that the windows are now boarded up with plywood. take a look. you can see the damage up there. believe it or not, that is where portions of the wheel from the speeding car flew and pierced the side of the building embedding itself into the building. so you can imagine if that happened, wow, it was quite a scene and that car was going pretty fast. coming up in a half-hour, i'll have more on the police investigation and their theory as to why this car was traveling more than a hundred miles an hour down mlk. andrea, back to you. >> delia goncalves, live in landover, maryland this

you look at the early malcolm x and early mlk. i don't mean to draw a tight connection there. there is a business of acting out certain forms of interaction which have you speaking in a polished way and accustomed way and trying to excite the interest of folks. martin obviously did that. but i don't see that that is what one should be obsessed about. the important thing is the trajectory of growth which is demonstrated in this life. it is always not just a life, but an interaction between the individual, but also the communal. martin obviously has very deeply embedded ideals about improvement, about humanitarianism which are contradicted by which is what he finds around him. he would easily have been your lawyer. he could have gone into medicine, which he contemplated at one point. he could have done something different. he was good at it. he grew enormously in the process. i don't think that it's all together -- if you were taking someone like many of your mystics who start off with this orientation, you don't see growth. you just see someone as what they are. st. francis of
