March anniversary is an opportunity to look at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy » The Commercial Appeal

Good article in the Commercial Appeal on the 50th Anniversary March on Washington and the legacy of MLK and the 1963 March, which was about more than civil rights, it was a march for jobs, peace & freedom and economic justice.  Still progressive causes today...
