I really don't know, cantey. I have never heard anyone speak on this topic
with Dr. King as their basis for argument.

How do you think Dr. King would feel about abortion?

Charismatic and a powerful orator, Damond. It is a shame he died the way
he did...

I never visited the church, but
I never visited the church, but I thought a lot of Mr. King. I always respected what he stood for and listened with interest when he talked on TV. He is undoubtedly a great man. I always knew long before he was assasinated that he would go down in the history books as a great man.

Powerful message, Saul! Very true and eloquent
I've only ever driven through Atlanta on the way to Florida, but I've always wanted to allot more time to spend a night or two in the gorgeous city and do some sightseeing. This will be on my list - Thanks.

It is a great place to visit, TAPS. It is so inspiring. Along a walkway
that stetches about a mile and a half is the Carter Center, dedicated to President James E. Carter, another great man of conscience. It was raining so hard we forewent that adventure for another day, but I will go there soon.

What a great post. Though I drive through Atlanta every time I go to Florda, I have never considered stopping there for anything. You make me want to. I'll keep that in mind for my November trip.

I don't know that of which you speak, FG, but I am sure he had his
reasons, the foremost that I can think of would be to concentrate and focus the black population on themselves, not to mention focus the world on the plight of American blacks. Also, Dr. King was an organizational and political genius, and having whites included early on in his movement would have diluted the intent and scope of his message and the point he was making. No distractions; nobody getting pissed because a couple white boys (and/or girls) got hurt; focusing the black population on their plight, making it a black issue first, and bringing the focus of the world on those issues. Genius. Time for inclusion and assimilation later, which, truthfully, was the goal the entire time...

I am a student of history, wakthatfatthang. Historic sites such as
Ebenezer have a spirit of place. I am constantly amazed at the amount of good and progress Dr. King accomplished, not simply for the opressed African American population but for American society overall...

saul - I would like to visit there. There is something with regard to Mr.
King that I've always wondered about. And I'm trying to say this properly.......Back in his day, when white people wanted to wak with him, he didn't want them to. I understand his meaning, but from what you've written in here, it makes me wonder.
