But he took on issues of poverty and militarism because he considered them vital "to make equality something real and not just racial brotherhood but equality in fact," Sitkoff said.Militarism and equality? Does that mean he fovored everyone's being equal? Or, does that mean he meant to use military tactics to gain "equality"?

King was one of those rare individuals: men who achieve fame rather early in life, then have the misfortune (or perhaps fortune) to die before the inevitable tarnishing of reputation that comes when success turns sour.

If you haven't read the text of MLK's speech "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence", you should. It is a rather vicious anti-American rant that promotes radical Marxism pretty shamelessly. It doesn't get talked about very much because it would seriously damage his reputation.
