Having grown up in segregated Alabama in the 40'-50's, I'll tell you, I don't understand how the man could have been so peaceful. I've done shameful things in my life too.
MLK was a great man...just let all the 'other' stuff go, he was only human.
How much, and what nature of "stuff" you are willing to abide before you lose your respect for a person?
No matter the hardships, the way a man honors the vows he takes tells me everything I need to know about him. What's the difference between a cheat and a traitor?
