Subject: RE: BS: 40 Years without Dr, KIng...
Yo, Beaubear. Been listening to NPR off and all all day today and reading yesterday and today. Hearing people talk about the man, not the icon. I had forgotten what a young man he was when he began his work (and how young he was when he died.) "All Things Considered" did a good 'collage' this afternoon that I think is well worth listening to. Rev. Joseph Lowery speaks about Dr. King toward the end of the piece to which I linked, and I thought his comments particularly insightful, and also moving.
