and frustrations of the moment I still have a dream.
It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. . . .
This is what I posted last year for Martin Luther King Day. Lots of links for reflection and inspiration.
Also: A provocative quote and a message to others still fighting for their freedom.
UPDATE: United for Peace and Justice has a tribute to MLK. Actually, it's not a tribute, they just hijacked him for an upcoming antiwar rally.
Somehow I think MLK would appreciate the fact that millions of Iraqis are free now from torture, imprisonment, and restrictions on free speech and access to information. Somehow I think MLK would be sickened by the fact that none of the antiwar groups bothered to ask Iraqis what they wanted, or have any of them speak at their rallies. He recognized repression of civil rights when he saw it.
But maybe not. It's real easy to put words in the mouths of great leaders when they're dead.
