PNN Special Observance in Honor of Dr. King

On this observance of Dr. King's life, I wanted to dedicate a show to his honor. In this age of increasingly open and virulent racism, the need to confront the injustice of said racism is obvious. This episode will not present the popular 'Disneyfied' version of King, which constantly reruns the "i Have A Dream" speech, but only grants attention to the surface meaning, while casting aside the darker aspects of American racism. Many Americans fail to see that racism here is on a par with Nazism during the ascendancy of Hitler's Third Reich. In fact, Hitler borrowed many ideas for the infamous Nuremberg laws from the Jim Crow laws of the American south.

So, in honor of Dr. King, I will read the 'Letters From A Birmingham Jail" speech.  

In this context, we must realize that it is not enough to claim that we are not racist. We must be anti-racism. There is no middle ground. I do this to honor my brothers and sisters of color and send them my love and loyalty in this fight.
