Commentary by Mumia Abu Jamal:
It has been 40 years – a lifetime – since Martin Luther King, Jr. was felled in Memphis, Tennessee.
His life of committed activism, and his martyrdom, has left an indelible mark upon the world.
There were, indeed, echoes of him, in Black and some White churches this past Easter, but also in what the corporate media has called “incendiary” speeches of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
