MLK was the "athlete dying young" before he wore his honor(s) out--I guess it's heresy, but it's likely he'd have ended up corrupt like Jesse Jackson once he saw how he could be the ultimate shakedown artist. He was just martyred before that natural progression could take place. Look at the disgusting Black Congressional Caucus...just a bunch of pimps and hustlers.

Hey, I used to admire Jesse Jackson many, many years ago. I remember his "Black is beautiful" speech as being every bit as stirring as "I have a dream."

What an ugly piece of sculpture, and kinda hilarious...

When I first saw the sculpture it kind of reminded me of the sculptures coming out of Germany in 1935-1945 era.

Very well put. Many conservatives admired and supported MLK. Similarly, many of us had high hopes for Jesse Jackson.

Unfortunately, blacks were ill-served by their leadership upon King's demise. The survivors were recruited by the white liberals...and embarked on a life of corruption.
