Reply #44: So everyone with assets should be in Memphis today? [View All]

[EffieBlack]

Do you really believe that the ONLY appropriate way to honor Dr. King's legacy is to go down to Memphis today?

That's a pretty superficial notion.

Barack Obama is honoring Dr. King in the way that he sees fit. And I'll bet that his way is going to be much more effective in advancing Dr. King's dream than anything that John McCain will do in Memphis.

The idea that the way to honor Dr. King is sing "We Shall Overcome" on Martin Luther King Day and to stand around under the balcony where he was shot on the anniversary of his death is very popular among people who really don't give two hoots about anything that Dr. King stood for but still want to wrap themselves in his legacy.
