Subject: RE: BS: In Memory: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Janie, I posted above about Malcolm but was pretty well ignored. Doesn't really matter but I think your point re: Stokely and Malcolm X is accurate to a similar degree that I believe King was moving toward the crossing point a well. Malcolm was indeed moving towards that same point but from the other side when he was killed. What might have been lives in only personal interpretations and can never be known but simply discussed and argued over.

I believe that much of what was "The Movement" was better represented by others but MLK was a real factor and one to be remembered. That we forget others and for me especially that we fail to remember Malcolm for his own highly significant role seriously troubles me.
