"Revolutionaries are, of course, anathema to the power elites who, with all their might, resist such rebels’ efforts to transform society. If they can’t buy them off, they knock them off. Forty-nine years after King’s assassination, the causes he fought for – civil rights, the end to U.S. wars of aggression, and economic justice for all – remain not only unfulfilled, but have worsened in so many respects. And King’s message has been enervated by the sly trick of giving him a national holiday and then urging Americans to make it “a day of service.” The vast majority of those who innocently participate in these activities have no idea who killed King, or why. If they did, they might pause in their tracks, suspend their “service” activities, and convene a teach-in on the truth of these matters."
The meaning behind the King movement has been lost. Just having a holiday without doing the work will not bring about change. I respect the hard work Dr. King and many others did, but I am not sure society at large has a clue what it was all about nor the impact he was trying to make for ALL people.
