Which, of course, is the peefect segway into Dr. King's assist in helping LBJ getting both the 1964 Civikl Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act passed with his elequence of charisma...

Too bad that fast forward some 40 years and folks like the Tom DeLay's of the country still don't get it??? (Think the Texas redistricting where in Dallas and Austin lines were drawn up to dilute the minority vote...)

BTW, provisions of the Voting Rights Act sunset next year so it should be interesting to see if the folks who claim to not have recist's motivations yet tend to do thinghs which seem on the surface to be racist will support these provisons staying in place...

I'm sure there's allready some right winged think tank that is getting funded by some corporation that is busy at work getting the talking points down so that the Bushites will have them all neat and tidy...

Like I said, America misses Dr. King everyday... He had a way of cutting right thru the smoke and presenting the real story...

(And, BTW, part 2... And I'm sure Dr. King would approve of me making this observation here on his birthday... Anyobe ever wonder why it's the progressives and pro-human, pro-earth folks who egt assasined??? And by folks with little or no motive??? Hey, I'm not advocating killing anyone but the last conservative ower figure to be assasined was Huey Long... That was about 80 years ago but here in a short decade we had Malcolm X, John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy and Dr. King... All killed, perhaps with the exception of Malcolm X by folks with no real motive???...)
