It's time to do justice to the memory of Dr King and all of the other courageous activists who continue to work for positive change in our society. Just as we recognized the injustice of celebrating the memory of only two presidents, Washington and Lincoln, and established "Presidents Day" (so that we could honor Jackson, Kennedy, Nixon and Clinton as well), it is now time to honor all activists, and hereby declare the second Monday in January, "Activists Day".
Activists Day could celebrate, in addition to Dr. King, Susan B. Anthony, Cesar Chavez, Jane Fonda, Rachel Corrie (the bulldozer girl), Patricia Ireland, the Reverend Al Sharpton and others as well as (in being inclusive) Phylis Schlafly, Ward Connerly and others on the right.

What do you all say, can Freepers make a difference in the name of inclusiveness and expand Dr. Martin Luther King Day to Activists Day?

Ya know, this isn't a half-bad idea.

Problem is, the civil rights industry considers that day to be "theirs", and any inclusion is, well, against diversity.

Can't say for sure. I experienced some stuff many years aaago. Tried to make ME feel guilty, first of all.

Me - white female . Then we went on a reterat, so we all could 'bond' for a long weekend.

Yes, I bonded just fine. Didn't hook up with the lezzies though.
