I continue to be fascinated by King's interest in decolonization, which is rarely discussed. I came across an account of his visit to Jamaica, and his immediate and profound comments with the people who came out to hear him, many of whom, now in their late 50s and 60s, STILL remember verbatim some of his impromptu speeches to them. We tend to think of Malcolm X as aware of the diaspora and of pan-African and transnational issues, but King was too. This is a key aspect of this man and his memory that we cannot lose.John Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08073378940347627766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11122973.post-1137700460387879352006-01-19T11:54:00.000-08:002006-01-19T11:54:00.000-08:00i was just about to say the same thing keguro said...i was just about to say the same thing keguro said. i get tired of reading and hearing i have a dream and letter from a birmingham jail over and over again like those are the only two works he has. granted, i love letter from a birmingham jail, but its nice to have fresh perspectives to an issue that stands today.Jameilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242625946552047911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11122973.post-1137412052459437102006-01-16T03:47:00.000-08:002006-01-16T03:47:00.000-08:00Thanks for this.Thanks for this.Mendi Obadikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038610861985625589noreply@blogger.com
