warpedskydiver 0 #5 January 17, 2011 Yet there are many people today that invoke his words in order to support racism against the whites. We have many so called community leaders that do nothing but shit upon the memory and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King. He also showed us that even a flawed man is capable of a greater good.

PiLFy 0 #9 January 17, 2011 I think what I respect about him most. Is he was brought up to live a life of leisure. He rejected that. He took on a monumental struggle, knowing it would get him killed. He knew he would be assassinated for it. Taylor Branch wrote a wonderful trilogy covering the civil rights struggle. All told, it's over 3K pages, & well worth the read.
