The death of Rodney King, reported this morning, resonates with those of us who are using video to promote human rights and social justice. King's Beating by Los Angeles Police officers, caught on George Holliday's video camera, led not only to the prosecution and subsequent acquittal of four police officers, which sparked the LA riots, but is also widely credited as the foundation of modern citizen journalism. http://articles.cnn.com/2011-03-05/opinion/deggans.rodney.king.journalism_1_citizen-journalism-rodney-king-video-holliday?_s=PM%3AOPINION

The Date Stamp on this George Holliday Beating of Rodney King video is also my birfday.
And I didn't realize this until just now, as it turns out Rodney and I have birfdays that are just one day shy of being a month apart.
Requiescat in pace, Mister King, shame we never got to meet, I'd have liked to have shaken your hand and told you 'thank you'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGKRSQCvBfM&feature=share
