Thread Name: BS: Martin Luther King Day
Subject: RE: BS: Martin Luther King Day
Yeah, CarolC, on tonights NBC news they showed Dr. King's last speech in Memphis the night before he was assinated and I remember seeing it several times over the years but, given what was going down in the 60's with progressives getting assinated, Dr, King had a premonition that his days were numbered...

It hurt to watch that last speech again... It never gets any easier...

Especially when we look at what we have ended up in the leadership category... None of these folks would be in power had assination not been very possibly their dady's tools in dealing with folks who were visionary...

They, collectively, had a dream and it was a good dream and no matter it's up to each of us to try to carry our communities closer to that dream and further from the visions that today's power structure paints...
