Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - This Black, Gay, Badass Pacifist Mastermind of the March on Washington Is Finally Getting His Due

It's such a simpler narrative if you have heroes and villains and if those heroes and villains are one-dimensional. Notice how Dr. King is canonized as THE civil rights leader, when he was A civil rights leader as well as a labor leader, an anti-Vietnam War movement leader and many other things besides. -JP
