Martin Luther King's Last Speech: "I Have Been To The Mountaintop"
Reality check: he is not talking about race, he is talking about class..
Martin was not in Memphis to march for the Civil Rights of black people, he was in Memphis to march for the labour rights of poor white Sanitations Department Workers in that city.
His death - in large part - had nothing to do with race. He had a non-violent peace agenda premised on the notion that ALL men are created equal - and America needs to honour that.
