I was a kid when MLK made those marches through the south. The memory however is vivid. I was amazed at the resolve of the Reverend and other marchers black and white not to respond violently to the brutal beatings and hosings they endured. MLK stood for something real. It wasn’t about him. As a man of God he represented peace for everybody. These politicians are self serving. I think he would tell them with the same resolve that they are part of the problem. It’s a shame nobody stepped into his shoes and carried on. That would take real courage and commitment. Taking political shots from afar exemplifies division not unity, and cowardice not courage.
