i have a dream
that MLK will be remembered as the true (socialist) radical that he was. and not white-washed by the media, frozen in time, as a 30 second 'i have a dream' sound byte played one monday of one month every year. he was about MUCH more than de-segregation and voting rights. he was about justice....real justice....and nothing less. i wish they would play this speech ad nauseum on MLK day:

why i am opposed to the war in vietnam

1. K&R
the same can be said of plenty of other famous Americans from history, like Mark Twain and Helen Keller, who have also had their socialist and ardent anti war positions whitewashed from the standard history books.
