Dreams Deferred (if Only Malcolm X and Martin Could Have Worked Together)

in martinlutherkingjr •  7 years ago 

I'm watching TNT and they previewed an interview coming with the daughters of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Something powerful was said; and I am moved; it was about wishing they both had the chance to come All the way together -- how beautiful that would have been; I think this is why Our Gov't Killed them (look it up; our Gov't confessed to killing MLK)

---- BUT damn; What if!!!

They were starting to converge; MLK was becoming Less peaceful; he was growing impatient with the Waiting Game; the ongoing Red Tape; the White Moderates; and Malcolm was becoming Less Revolutionary; in terms of the need to use 'violence if necessary' - and was starting to see the bigger issues going on even to the extent of how he was often used as a voice 'against' other voices, all struggling for the same outcome.

Damn... 'if only' they had the chance to LIVE ..... who knows what these two men would have done TOGETHER; and what kind of Better, Improved World we would be in TODAY ---
