In the latter part of his life Martin Luther King came to a crossroads where he could no longer ignore the predatory nature of the so called "Free Market" system. Here's the lesson we have to learn, more and more of us MUST SPEAK TO TRUTH! And not in a "shy way." We can do better! Spread the word about PFAN's. Together, we can make a start. The final few paragraphs of the link below were "edited." But here is how they read in the January 30th issue of Liberal Opinion Weekly..."How familiar that sounds TODAY, four decades after King's efforts on behalf of the poor people's mobilization were cut short by an assassin's bullet.
As 2008 gets underway, in this nation of immense wealth, the White House and CONGRESS continue to accept the perpetuation of poverty. And so do most MASS MEDIA. Perhaps it's no surprise that they tell us little about the last years of Martin Luther King's life." To read the rest of this article the link is http://www.alternet.org/mediaculture/50151
Does anyone have an email copy of the MLK article from Harpers entitled "The Bravest Man I Ever Knew" about Norman Thomas?
