MLK

Tapped's Kate Sheppard has a compendium of links to articles, posts, etc. on the radical legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. The Washington Post's slide show and narration by the photographer Matthew Lewis is particularly riveting. His iconic shot of an angry MLK is compelling as I'm not sure he'd be any less angry were he alive today.

But King reserved some of his toughest assessments for the U.S. government, which he called "the greatest purveyor of violence" in the world.


I think he'd be proud of Barak Obama. I'm certain he'd have much to agree upon with Jeremiah Wright.
