It's a great letter. As we say in "Patriot's History of the United States," King understood that fundamentally AMERICA WAS GOOD, and that the key to winning the Civil Rights battle was to expose the minority of evil and racist individuals to the light of publicity to the rest of America by inviting them to excessive force.

We also wrote, however, that just as King changed America, Bull Connner changed King by making him less enthusiastic about using this (successful) tactic in the future.

There is no question King had flaws. I believe he loved America and wanted to make it better, NOT "make it Africa," which is what some of his useless philosophical heirs have done.
