like i said, SOME of what you point out has SOME merit. MOST of it doesn't (for example, as far as i know NO windows were broken by PARTICIPANTS in the march. what NONparticipants did/did not do has ZILCH to do with the march or its VALUE to the "civil rights movement". FYI, criminal acts, including but not limited to vandalism, are NOT confined to civil rights marches!)

did it ever cross your mind that those sources might know just as LITTLE as YOU do??? or that the writers might just have "an AGENDA" and or were trying to CHANGE the "record"??? (the FBI & the MPD certainly DID!)

better you ask me, who was THERE, than somebody who was NOT! (at least i was just a participant & a 20YO student, who had NO agenda except getting a decent living wage for a bunch of sanitation workers & their families.)

Fair enough. Now you have to explain why the King Center, the National Archives, the Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute, and the National Civil Rights Museum would all either at best blindly accept this version of events without anyone ever setting the record straight, or at worst be active participants in making the world believe that the last march of Dr. King's life was a disaster, in which his nonviolenc-centered leadership failed. If there's an agenda by those organizations, you'll have to explain how they benefit by casting King into a bad light in the last week of his life, especially almost 40 years after the fact.

I already did that. Still waiting for your version of events. I'd especially like to hear how the march ended.
