and what a happy mlk day it is!
yes, many of king's hopes for america remain unfulfilled, but the primary aspiration of his famous great dream is realized, once again americans have judged our most powerful man by the content of his character and not by the color of his skin. america's 400 year national curse is fading. thank god i'm alive to have seen it.
this tells the story of dr. king and many others who made that possible- both breathtaking adventure story and scholarly footnoted history, one of the best books i've ever read.
