37. Myths Of Martin Luther King By Marcus Epstein College student Marcus Epstein, editor of Remnant, presents a negative analysis of King s life and work. http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig/epstein9.html

Myths of Martin Luther King by Marcus Epstein There is probably no greater sacred cow in America than Martin Luther King Jr. The slightest criticism of him or even suggesting that he isn’t deserving of a national holiday leads to the usual accusations of racist, fascism, and the rest of the usual left-wing epithets not only from liberals, but also from many ostensible conservatives and libertarians. This is amazing because during the 50s and 60s, the Right almost unanimously opposed the civil rights movement. Contrary to the claims of many neocons, the opposition was not limited to the John Birch Society and southern conservatives. It was made by politicians like Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater , and in the pages of Modern Age, Human Events, National Review , and the Freeman. Today, the official conservative and libertarian movement portrays King as someone on our side who would be fighting Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton if he were alive. Most all conservative publications and websites have articles around this time of the year praising King and discussing how today’s civil rights leaders are betraying his legacy. Jim Powell’s otherwise excellent The Triumph of Liberty rates King next to Ludwig von Mises and Albert J. Nock as a libertarian hero. Attend any IHS seminar, and you’ll read "A letter from a Birmingham Jail" as a great piece of anti-statist wisdom. The Heritage Foundation regularly has lectures and symposiums honoring his legacy. There are nearly a half dozen neocon and left-libertarian think tanks and legal foundations with names such as "The Center for Equal Opportunity" and the "American Civil Rights Institute" which claim to model themselves after King.

As he grew older he began to realize whites and blacks were treated differently in, and by, society. His ultimate goal was to change that fact. Educated Leader King attended the Crozer Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania and studied important historical figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Henry David Thoreau. At college he met Coretta Scott, who he would later marry. In 1954, at age 25, King received his PhD and was thereafter known as Dr. King. After receiving his PhD, he became a pastor at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. In 1957 he became president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. In 1959 he went to India with his wife and studied, in great detail

39. Racial Equality - Martin Luther King's Dream For America And The Black Community Student essayist Charles Gilmer reminds readers that the words spoken by King ring true today. http://everystudent.com/features/dream.html

Sex/Relationships How to Know God Video Room Home ... Sex/Relationships document.write (''); Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led the civil rights movement and fought for racial equality with something much stronger than tolerance. By Charles Gilmer The lingering vestiges of America's racist past present a serious challenge to the hope that many hold for a nation that lives out its most cherished values - liberty and justice for all. Persistent recurrences of racial incidents such as Jena, La., remind us that hatred and animosity still fester. Suspicion lurks under the surface of many interactions. Even the government's response to Hurricane Katrina is often criticized as manifesting discernable racial discrepancies. Movies like Crash, and the news coverage of the Duke University lacrosse team sex-party debacle, and even the prospect of a Black presidential nominee in the 2008 elections remind us of the tenuous and fragile nature of racial harmony in the United States of America. We seem to live under an uneasy truce. It has been four and a half decades since the 1963 March on Washington where Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech was delivered. Yet none of us can say we have fully lived up to Dr. King's vision of a land where each person would be judged by the content of their character, rather than the color of their skin.
