I heard MLK give the updated version of his ‘I have a Dream’ speech in Chicago in 1964... Easily one of the most moving experiences of my life.

Sadly even by that point organizations like SNCC were were referring to MLK as an Uncle Tom... hijacking the dignity of the movement. SNCC voted to remove white civil rights workers from their ranks in late ‘63 or spring of ‘64 - - moves foreshadowing the hate and divisiveness we see today.

Re: SNCC.
Who can ever forget Stokeley Carmichael’s immortal words?
“We ain’t Students, we ain’t no committee, and guess what? We ain’t nonviolent neither.”

Whatever else one might say, the revolutionaries of the 60s had a certain demented charm that is sorely lacking in the humorless leftists of today.

I still have my copy of Steal This Book by Abbie Hoffman.
