As several folks have requested, below is a stand-alone version of our brief, but rather powerful tribute to MLK from last night’s Mike Malloy Show.
The audio montage was created by producer Desi Doyen and engineer Tony Sorrentino in remembrance yesterday, April 4th, of the 43rd anniversary of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination as he was in Memphis to speak in support of the right of workers to organize and unionize.
The news clips and, in particular, the haunting message of Robert F. Kennedy (who would be similarly assassinated just a few months later), were especially poignant last night, as I suspect they will still be for many today and for many years to come as the nation continues to battle, even now, to see King’s legacy eventually fulfilled. And so it will be.

As Dr. West said:
STOP THE SANTACLAUSIFICATION of Dr. King!
Rev. King and Malcolm X were both far more profound than popular legend allows them to be. They both learned and grew in their short lives, something we cannot permit any more; if you don’t already know The Truth about everything, there must be something wrong with you.
Now I know where the phrase “s/he knows just enough to be dangerous” came from don’t I?
It came from a expert who had no past life prior to becoming an expert?
