That takes me back. George Wallce stood in the "school house door" symbolically defying the federal power to integrate the University of Alababma.

He did that out of deeply held principles. Yet, later in his life, came to understand that he had been wrong, and said so.

MLK was a man with the faults and failures that men have - but, he espoused bedrock principles that turned the nation onto a better road, with a minimum of turmoil.

Pity, that ones like him come along so rarely.

And more the pity, that his "legacy" is co-opted by poverty pimps and race hustlers.
