Thank you, Mark Steiner, Max, and Professor Larry Gibson on this discussion on the March to Washington DC with Dr. Martin Luther KingJr. with all the organizers that were involved with agreements and some who thought a transitional way to place it all together . As I have grown older, I gained more wisdom by reading many daunting books of history and world histories on all sides. Bayard Rustin and A.Phillip Randolf we readily regard their contribution. Sadly, at that time, women could not speak. Many wanted to be involved, even Coreeta King, but it was a man's world dominated by men. Again, there were many women who were behind the scenes, some none may have never heard of. Many writers we have to thank, also. Furthermore, if I also may add of the contributions of many artists as Joan Baez and Harry Belafonte. Harry Belafonte was an extradinary example and was very close to Dr. Martin Luther KingJr and stood firm with causes even until his death recently. I have listened to his many stories also, as one knows he contributed greatly to Dr. KingJr.'s efforts out of his own pocket. He helped organize other musicians and singers to do what they could. I mean Tony Bennett and the composer of the NYC Philamonic, Leonard Bernstein, many others and the woman I greatly admired was Nina Simone's beauty with her voice of Jazz, for she also could play Bach, and was denied to get in a conservatory of music when she was young . The lyrics she wrote was on fire as she stood beside Dr. Martin Luther KingJr. with her music. Moving forward with truth of Dr. King's dream burning light within our hearts . May we not forget there were also many poor blacks, browns and whites in our country then and now, as homelessness has grown increasingly rampant due to laws of greed of powers, just as restrictions of the voting rights acts and gerrymandering, corporate greed. Books being removed in our libraries, state against state again. War for profits, and many veterans still die on our streets, guns readily available for one another to murder one another and law inforcement still at odds with one another by higher powers of enforcement. Black men and women still being murdered to this day. This has been years in the making with politicians on all sides, making this mass insanity worse. Corporate media with the big business telling them what to say. Today the man I grew up loving and who was a hero to me sice a small child of crispy creame white. Dr. Martin Luther KingJr, I would believe undoubtedly think his that his dream was not followed through upon. This election of 2024 is the important one in my lifetime, and many writers and journalists we owe them their contributions to tell the truth to powers, as The Real Network does, also others . With the deepest appreciation and respect for all of you today. Thank you Mr. Steiner and Professor Gibson for your contributions in the March on Washington DC, extending forward through these years. May I also, appoligise for being late to listening to this one. Cornel West for president 2024!!!!❤
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. & NOW ?? Dr. King, one of the most influential black leaders Was born to a minister and a teacher of school. Educated to where he earned his PH.D. Becoming a pastor marching against what was unfair and cruel. Leading a boycott to protest bus segregation As he preached and marched for freedom for all He was jailed, threatened, spat on and beaten As for peaceful demonstration he would call. Marching to Washington, In 1963 Voicing concern for the plight of the poor. Soon thereafter, he was killed by a sniper In Memphis, supporting workers’ rights and more. Dr. King will be remembered down through history With words for all to prayerfully remember. To be judged, not by color, but by character Shunning violence never to surrender.

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. & NOW ??
Dr. King, one of the most influential black leaders
Was born to a minister and a teacher of school.
Educated to where he earned his PH.D.
Becoming a pastor marching against what was unfair and cruel.
Leading a boycott to protest bus segregation
As he preached and marched for freedom for all
He was jailed, threatened, spat on and beaten
As for peaceful demonstration he would call.
Marching to Washington, In 1963
Voicing concern for the plight of the poor.
Soon thereafter, he was killed by a sniper
In Memphis, supporting workers’ rights and more.
Dr. King will be remembered down through history
With words for all to prayerfully remember.
To be judged, not by color, but by character
Shunning violence never to surrender.

What did this march accomplish??? This seems a bit sad that still we can't deal with the deeper truths here.......
I heard MLK was sent in to weaken this rally. All hope and change, no substance or concrete actions
