Martin Luther King, Exploited
"And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
- Martin Luther King August 28, 1963
Apparently, Martin Luther King's dream of freedom for African-Americans has not yet arrived. Not when they continue to be shackled by the Left, and used as pawns in their political agenda.

Comments
King himself was already being shackled to the left and to people who wanted to use him. I read a story in the paper this morning that said that Jesse Jackson is disputing claims in a forthcoming book about King that King had accused Jackson of trying to use the civil rights movement to promote himself. Perceptive man, that MLK. Whether or not there was a falling out in the making back in 1968, Jackson's record since then has been as somoeone who has used his association with King to further his career a self-promoter, a race baiter, and a shakedown artist, with minimal civil rights accomplishments.
