A Democratic State Is Not Proven By

Lately... Americans Have Begun To Understand That Trouble Does Not Start Somewhere On The Other Side Of Town. It Seems To Originate Inside The Absolute Middle Of The Homemade Cherry Pie. In Our History, The State Has Failed To Respond To The Weak. You Could Be White, Male, Presbyterian And Heterosexual Besides, But If You Get Fired Or If You Get Sick Tomorrow, You Might As Well Be Black, For All The State Will Want To Hear From You.

Maybe The Purpose Of Being Here, Wherever We Are, Is To Increase The Durability And Occasions Of Love Among And Between Peoples.

When That Devil's Bullet Lodged Itself Inside The Body Of Martin Luther King, He Had Already Begun An Astonishing Mobilization Of Poor, Black, White, Latino Americans Who Had Nothing To Lose. They Would Challenge Our Government To Eliminate Exploitative, Merciless, And War-mongering Policies, Nationwide, Or Else "tie Up The Country" Through "means Of Civil Disobedience." Dr. King Intended To Organize Those Legions Into "coercive Direct Actions" That Would Make Of Babylon A Dysfunctional Behemoth Begging For Relief. Is It Any Wonder He Was Killed?
