I Have a Dream

Posted by on Mon, Jan 16, 2012 at 9:08 AM

At noon today on KUOW, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s most famous speech will be broadcast, along with the first of five lectures he gave on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in late 1967 regarding the labor movement. (And right now on KUOW: UW professor Michael Honey, who has collected Dr. King's speeches on the topic in his book "All Labor Has Dignity," which sounds fascinating if you can stand Steve Scher's questions.)

We should definitely slaughter a sacrificial lamb in his memory.

FAIR.org article "The Martin Luther King Jr 1960s TV viewers didn't see".
Funny how WaPo and Reader's Digest among other mass media pooh-poohed King's post-civil-rights-march crusade against poverty and America's involvement in the Vietnam War.

One of the more relevant speeches in the Occupy era is "Sleeping Through a Great Revolution". And of course the economic calls of '68 were decades ahead of their time!

I like Steve Scher. I believe he's a competent interviewer, and I regret hearing over and over again that you don't.
