"Perhaps I have once again been too optimistic. Is organized religion too inextricably bound to the status quo to save our nation and the world? Perhaps I must turn my faith to the inner spiritual church, the church within the church, as the true ekklesia and the hope of the world."Dear friends,
While there have been many Black leaders, both male and female, who are deserving of a memorial statue, at least, one of those many is now finally being recognized. Moreover, while Dr. King's real views have been trivialized by a government- and corporate-controlled mainstream media and other North American cultural institutions as "A dream", the real work that was done by centuries of activism - and still goes on - has brought African Americans and many others to this point, and is captured in a letter that is, to me, Martin Luther King's manifesto. It appears on the link below. Cheers!
