MLK glimpsed something of the power structures of this world, which is why he went to Memphis to stand with the striking sanitation workers. He saw how money and power exist in symbiotic relationship. His philosophy of non-violent resistance would have been useful in the days leading up to this present war, which he would have vehemntly opposed. I remember how calm he looked after being stabbed (with the knife still stuck in his chest), as he waited for emergency personnel to arrive. He was not a perfect man, none are...but he was a great man, a leader who held America's feet to the fire of the promises she makes to all.
