Spell check has changed the word revolution to evolution, in the last paragraph, a significant difference.

but it was something very necessary, way past due, and did bring about equality for many. Not all, given our neoliberal, capitalist system. It was however, a first step in the process. MLK recognized this fact and had he not been murdered by the USG, he would
have continued in this endeavor. Not to give all credit to MLK as most of the groundwork had been completed when CORE etc., invited him to take a leading role. My point, is when viewing various programs, organizations I think we must be cautious not to judge
too quickly whether they be IP or not. That being said, we need to also determine what is meant by "support." Diluting the anti-war movement, our program on AOTA, should be guarded against, and calls to focus on either local issues or IP, as well as the </span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;" class="">“</span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.24px;" class=""> iscussions"
