It does, indeed, M-Azizi... And many people think of King only in terms of his "I Have A Dream" speech which, IMHO, was the smoke from candle from the icing on the cake but the cake itself was (and is) the struggle....

I'm not too sure how many folks are going to join this thread but I'd like to consider myself a student and follower of Dr. King and so I'll be dropping in here now and then to share some of the cake...

Ten days before Dr. King was assasinated he spoke before the Rabbinical Assembly and here is what he said in reagards to militancy:

"Now, so often the word 'militant' is misunderstood because most people think of militancy in military terms. But to be militant merely mean to be demanding and to be persistent, and in this sense I think the non-violent movement has demonstrated great militancy. It is possible to be militantly non-violent."

In the following paragraph Dr. King follows up with, "Americans have a responsibility, indeed a great responsibility, to work passionately and unrelentingly for the solution of the of racism, and if that means constantly reminding white society of its obligation, that must be done. If I have been accused of that, then I will have to continue to be accused."

When I return to this thread I'll be sharing Dr. King's thoughts on "malajustment"... They are a treat...
