I prefer to view MLK for the results of his leadership and that is a very mixed bag (Jesse Jackson). He definitely was an influence, whether good or bad on the balance we all have our opinions.
I see that period of time as one where the struggle for power in this country was played out on a huge "Red" canvass and our enemies were both inside and outside the country....includes USSR, Kennedys, Kerry, LBJ, Carter, CIA, Leftest Racebaiters, KKK...... Thank goodness for Ron Reagan who fought the good fight, IMO!

I won't blame King for Jackson, I don't care how close they were (something which Jackson exaggerates so he can trade on it).
