MLK had the power to take you along on a journey to arrive at new perspectives. He did not threaten. He did not rant. He did not preach. He reasoned. We suffered immeasurably when his approach was replaced by Malcolm X, Stokley Carmichael, Black Power and the Black Panthers. We would be well along in our journey to an integrated society were MLK and Robert Kennedy not taken from us by assassins.
