Not at all. My heart’s broken, actually. I hoped to hear more about King That he could not mention the name of Martin Luther King Jr., that he was reduced to some preacher from Georgia, was a disappointment.
For those of us who stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, or who in the years that followed may have lost hope, this moment is a testament to the power and vision of Martin Luther King Jr.
I think Obama's speech made Americans, especially black Americans extremely proud ... I feel that his speech just continues what Martin Luther king Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech embodied.
Dollie has been my rock. She has been a powerful source of counsel to me, even until today.
I think that she was scarred from this experience. Yet, she didn't let her pain imprison her with hate. Instead, she transformed her pain into protest.
I think that Dollie was angry, angry at white people. From the time she was a child, right up to the time she was an adult, Dollie would watch her father, Aaron Wilson, cut her family members down from the trees, on which the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups had lynched them.
Dollie was a silent, unsung hero. She participated in every march that Dr. King organized. She provided Dr. King with valuable information, from the inside. She had a strong sense of justice. I think that is what motivated her to wage her silent, yet determined fight against injustice.
We're going to let the Blacks have their own cafeteria. We're going to let the men's bathroom be their cafeteria.
