Thanks to good friend Collete Ficklin for posting the image above. As we enter MLK month, folks tend to really forget that the I have a Dream Speech really spoke directly to reparations and payments overdue.
Additionally imagine what speech MLK would have delivered at the culmination of the Poor People's March to be held that spring but for the state-nation sanctioned assasination that April.
It is easy to want to reconstruct history and to spew conjecture.
Let me digress for a moment and say perhaps James Earl Ray acted alone and that no authorities knew of his impending actions nor could have prevented his actions. I say to you, tell that to Chaney,Goodman and Schwerner !
To return to MLK month, it might be impossible to buy black in every way, but could this year be the start for some and resumption for some and decision making time for you and me !
