  JURIST - Forum: Heeding MLK's Call to Action
MLK had been invited by Nkrumah with the hope that a meeting would happen between MLK and then-Vice President Nixon.
MLK should be remembered not only as an actor on the domestic stage but as a prophet on the international plane even in the 1950’s, preaching for social and economic justice.
And MLK makes me say that it is simply unacceptable to have an Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary that is structured to keep women and minorities down.

 R. Walker: MLK Blvd
I though it would be interesting to do some sort of book, a photo book, on the subject of this “legacy.” In 2000 we moved to New Orleans, where I had many, many occasions to drive up and down the length of Martin Luther King, day and night.
Anyway, by that time I had decided that it might be smarter to create a web site, and turn “MLK Blvd” into a sort of “open source” journalism project — interested parties could send in their own photos, or histories, or interviews, or documents.
Late that year we moved to Jersey City, and by chance I got wind of a showing of a documentary called MLK Boulevard, which later aired on the Times Discovery Channel.

MLK didn't believe in any hooey about "the content of one's character." He was a race man! And taking his fine talk about fl and white children playing together and holding hands seriously, requires a belief in race mixing that he also did not have.
