  1. Well, MLK had his extra marital affairs . It is all public knowledge. But he was commited to social change. There are no saints or sinners. And as for Malcolm X, we don’t know all that well.

  3. Credible. Reminds me of that movie , when the band member kid is practicing his saxophone. Upon being approached by a couple infants , he fires back, “ I am black and I am praaaawwd “.

  4. The topic is all about to what lead MLK assassination. Not over the principles of MLK views of the civil rights movement , nor what whites saw it then. . The latter is a backdrop to the former.

  5.  @0x0michael  yes I did. And for that matter anyone who knew Hillary’s act would. And over the second term I would vote Republican , only if William Weld won the primaries. Which he didn’t. In case you are oblivious to , Bill Weld practiced Constitutional Law, was a tightwad , and ran office in Massachusetts for two consecutive terms cleaning up the Dukakis fiscal mess. A fiscal conservative who respected civil rights. And I voted twice on Obama , who turns out to be nothing short of a demagogue and a messenger boy for the establishment . Just ask Flint MI residents on the tainted water crisis. Or the folks at the gulf when the BP spill came to happen. And btw , I knew Trump was a crook. And if you are to claim Trump was beholden to the Russians , let me remind you Bill Clinton was entertaining Chinese businessmen for dinners at the White House. Not Chinese Government envoys. Businessmen. Let me remind you the number of folks who “ committed suicide” and were part of the Clinton’s inner circle. The Monica Lewinsky scandal was merely a diversion while Bubba was selling classified secrets. American Presidents do no run the show. Special interests do.

  6. General Motors did the same to discredit Ralph Nader , by planting women to try in seducing him . Right after he published the ever so popular expose book on auto safety , “ Unsafe at any speed “. Americans , by the sixties was about to change its perception of morality , but the old dogs were playing their dirty tricks by the old book. The biographic documentary is out on YouTube , Ralph Nader, an unreasonable man “. Ralph Nader , ever the suspicious man, and ascetic , turned the tables on GM’s CEO , Jim Roache

  7.  @john2g1 demagogues in chief more likely. Nixon was far more progressive than Clinton. What Clinton did by botching civil right laws left the ACLU up in arms. And Obama , that stunt in Flint Michigan was exact the same as the one he pulled over the BP spill in the Mexican Gulf. Over Louisiana The water and the seafood that he said to take without fear. Both were gifted orators like no other.

  8. If memory does not fail me, Dr.King was educated as a seminarist , he studied theology at Boston University ( correct me it I am wrong ) , before he came into proeminence , and about the same time he met his soon to be bride , Loretta, who would become Loretta King. He lived in an apartment by Massachusetts Avenue , near Symphony Hall , between Columbus Avenue and Gainsborough Street, by the left side , bound towards Cambridge. In front of the building he rented the apartment there is a bronze landmark plaque on the curbside. Right now , that block , and the neighborhood then known as Roxbury and now as South End ( ohhh, the forces of gentrification ) would be unthinkable of housing MLK , as it become extremely expensive to rent. Along the same curbside MLK dwelled , at a brownstone basement , the greats of Jazz and R&B jammed into smoked filled tight corners . Around Massachusetts Anenue , by the staircases, towards the City Hospitwl , you could spot the brothers breaking rhythmic from boomboxes into the early nineties. The whole stretch of Tremont Street towards Melnea Cass Boulevard ( known as Ruggles ) plenty negro owned establishments , including lounges and barbershops dotted the curbside. Most of that area now is taken by real estate especulatórias and developers, and Northeastern University. It became sedated and sanitized . If you still want to grasp what it was to be a negro in Boston , the lingering remaining mystique, sounds and flavors are in places such as Grove Hall, Codman Square , Mattapan Square , Eggleston Square ( the golf course where the great Bobby Jones practiced is thereabouts ) , Uphams Corner , Blue Hill Avenue, and wanning over Dudley Square

  9. And sorry, me again…. Johny, this might not be as impactful as MLK , but maybe the folks at VOX can sink their teeth on. The short Life of Jan Matzelinger , a mulato son of a negro woman and a white Dutch engineer from Suriname. He was the man that turned shoe lasting from an artisanal step into a high volume process that made shoes affordable. Through sheer perseverance, hard work, moonlighting , into a short lived success, before he succumbed to tuberculosis. Between his work at a shoe factory in Lynn , Massachusetts , and his moonlighting gig at a machine shop. Quiet and soft spoken. Get it done, please.
