<P>I posted the following to our web site:<BR><BR>Today is the day set aside to
remember Dr. Martin Luther King. But while we're remembering him, let's not
forget that he wasn't always the celebrated official icon of nice words and
non-violence that he is today. I remember the liberal white Southerner who
complained to me that "he shouts at me". (I told her that he didn't shout at
<EM>me</EM>.) I remember how he was condemned for mobilizing teen agers in the
struggle against racism. I remember how he was attacked for being "impatient".
Or how he was condemned for coming out against the Vietnam War. We should also
realize that originally he didn't see "non-violence" as an absolute principle;
that was pushed upon him by the Northern liberals in the person of Bayard Rustin
(who wasn't above working with the CIA in another instance). In fact, according
to Charles Sims, founder of the armed self-defense group the Deacons for Defense
of Justice, King allowed himself to be guarded by the Deacons when he traveled
in their area of southern Louisiana. According to Sims, King would not have
survived in that area without that protection. <BR><BR>But most of all, we
should remember the many, many thousands, and tens of thousands, of unsung
heroes - those who sacrificed their jobs, their homes, sometimes their lives -
whom Martin Luther King helped mobilize. He helped raise them to a higher level
and they, in turn, elevated him to become the great figure that he was. As is
always the case, the names of these many tens of thousands of unsung heroes will
never be recorded in history. They are just remembered - sometimes unconsciously
- by the millions of workers and the oppressed and their spirit will rise again.
<BR><BR>Remembering them and their spirit, and helping resurrect a similar
struggle - that is the best tribute we can make to Martin Luther King today.<BR
