At least the truth about the phony that was Michael King is getting some exposure. His enemies were the segregationists, Democrats all. That makes his enemies my enemies. To stand up to those people was very dangerous, and not everyone had the nerve to do it. King did it. Call him whatever you want to, the fact remains that he did it, and most others did not.
If you are a Republican, your heritage is precisely the struggle for color-blind citizenship. It is a shame that the man most famous for braving the guns and the dogs was a socialist, but that is the way it is. Republicans worked slowly over a century and still hadn't managed to persuade anyone. King stood up, and in 10 years it was gone.
So, I don't really care what his name was.
As you see, marron, the spirit of segregation is still among us. It exists on both the Right and Left. I'm still wondering why no one will answer my question. I'll state it yet again for those who may have missed it:
Why was a person like King necessary?
I lionize no man since he is nothing more than flesh and blood. However, as you have alluded to, King did brave a lot. Since this is America, why did he have to and what contributed to the environment that served as his catalyst?
