Baptist minister and scholar Michael Eric Dyson proposed a 10-year moratorium on listening to or reading "I Have a Dream"
There's a documentary on PBS tonight entitled Citizen King. CNN describes it (the quotes are from this site).
They focus on the controversial King:
the man who moved into a drafty, run-down flat in a Chicago slum to call attention to the plight of poor urban blacks, and who preached fiery sermons against the war in Vietnam, denouncing "Western arrogance."
Dr King was a great man (though a flawed man). The fight he fought was well worth it. And it almost goes without saying that here in the US, especially, and around the world, we have a long way to go.
