Seawright: Martin Luther King ‘Did Not Want to See What We’re Starting to See Now — This Idea of Two Americas’

‘A husband, a father, a pastor, a leader of perhaps one of the most transformational movements in this country’

EXCERPT:

SEAWRIGHT: “You know, Anne-Marie, they say well-behaved men and women rarely make history. We know that to be true, because Martin Luther King Jr. spent his life misbehaving. A husband, a father, a pastor, a leader of perhaps one of the most transformational movements in this country, and he all did it under the idea that he did not want to see what we are starting to see now, this idea of two Americas. You can call Dr. King so many different things, but I oftentimes referred to him as a true patriot, and a true architect, building the necessary capacity to get us to a more perfect union.”
