I agree in part with GUEST,GUEST.

However, let's not neglect the courage of King and so many others who put it on the line back when there was a line which to cross meant a severe beating at least. Telling kids who know where they are in the economics of life that they are free is quaint crap meant to assuage consciences that likely need it. King was an outstanding individual and a very brave one, too. He knew the dangers he faced and he faced them anyway. For that history owes him his day.
