18. And NEVER FORGET that MLK was killed while organizing labor!
Edited on Thu Nov-17-11 12:21 PM by intheflow
He was reviled and threatened for trying to break the color barrier, but it wasn't until he started speaking up for labor and against Vietnam that he was killed. Because that was a much worse threat to the 1%.
