A giant of a man (none / 0) (#10)
by Saul on Mon Jan 21, 2008 at 09:47:07 AM EST
I am glad I lived through this era and at the same time I regret what I saw.   In my life time I have witnessed very special people who were willing to risk their lives for their beliefs.  Beliefs that were to right injustices.  The two Kennedy's and Mr. King were killed because the establishment feared they would upset the status quo. The protest against Vietnam  was the revolution that I thought would be the end of any more manufactured wars.  I was wrong.  Emiliano Zapata, the Mexican revolutionary figure had a saying, "Mejor morir de pie que vivir de rodillas. "I rather die standing than live my life on my knees"   Here is the video on Martin speech " I Have I Dream"
