    Such a beautiful sentiment. We’d be so much better off if that became the famous line and not “color of their skin content of their character”

    This is the MLK they do not want you to see....seems he learned well from Malcolm...we had never heard MLK speak this way before until the last 2 years of his life and after meeting Malcolm and Elijah Muhammad

    There was a shift taking place in the black community with the groups like the Nation of Islam preaching strong, self-love and other Nationalists groups. The Panthers emerged in 1966. Dr. King was listening to them

    Martin I wish you were here to remind the People that YOU fought those barriers for us. I can live where I want. I can speak my truth. I can ask for proper paperwork on homes and be compensate when that paperwork is not completed in a timely manner and No Mayor comes along and lie as if that is not how proof goes. Martin fought for my Daughter to have an Attorney that do not tell me I do not get paid after its been years and it was not me needing a blood transfusion. I was drugged. Martin fought for us already with established laws for my jobs to compensate me properly when I am fighting for my health and these Devils purposely violate my medical insurance. It's time for these habitual liars to be harmed. I AM BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL.

    One can visit a superficial youtube post and count numerous visitors. But come to a place like this and the count is low!
