The Real King is Dead - Long Live the King

A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defence than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death

Martin Luther King had a dream that went beyond the "romanticized and whitewashed...in order to fit the man and his struggle neatly within the prevailing political and economic power structures in a largely uncritical and non-threatening manner. This portrayal of Dr. King has been mass marketed as an accommodationist figure and is now so pervasive in our schools, media, etc. that it threatens to neutralize and placate the most ambitious, daring and challenging of King's critique along with his struggle to confront and organize against not only racism, but economic exploitation and militarism-imperialism as well."
