Remember, the Martin Luther King who was thrown in jail in Alabama in the early 1960's was the same Martin Luther Kings who received the Nobel Peace Prize a few years later, and who was killed for his revolutionary activities just a few years after that. Whether he was a hero or villian depends on who writes the history book and it is, ultimately, our responsibility to make sure that many, conflicting, history books can be written.
Most particularly remember that the director-for-life of the FBI used telephone intercepts in an attempt to get this Martin Luther King to commit suicide. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Frantz | The Internet was designed | Periwinkle -- Consulting (408)356-8506 | to protect the free world | 16345 Englewood Ave. frantz@netcom.com | from hostile governments. | Los Gatos, CA 95032, USA
