Dr. Alveda King – the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968)– explains why she's speaking at the Glenn Beck 8/28 rally
[which Willie Bunch calls the rally: "Beck's most audacious stunt yet"] set on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial this Saturday
Dr. Alveda King: "Americans are hungry to reclaim the symbols of our liberty, hard won by an unlikely group of outnumbered, outgunned, underfunded patriots determined not to live in servitude to the British Empire. If we want to sing the national anthem at a memorial to the man who led this fledgling nation out of slavery, and made my people free, we should be able to send our voices soaring to the heavens."
Beck’s “Rally to Restore Honor” will give us that chance, and that’s why I feel it’s important for me to be there."
On July 4th, Atlanta, at the gravesite of the black civil-rights activist, MLK; Dr. King said she and a group of more than 100-30 pro-life black pastors and a busload of supporters strong, came to declare that abortion is the greatest violation of civil rights in our day. Dr. King said she brought a wreath to lay at Uncle Martin’s grave [Martin Luther King Center for Nonviolent Social Change] and to pray, but the King Center Staff had barricaded the entrance to the federal park surrounding the gravesite.
"We weren’t allowed", Dr. King said.
King's cousin Martin Luther King III, the president of the center, had given her permission orally to stop at the gravesite for a prayer during her visit, but when the center’s CEO received requests from Altanta pro-choice groups to hold protests on the site, he decided no one would be allowed at the grave and erected a temporary barrier metal fence around it.
Dr. King responded by climbing into a reflecting pool beside the grave and declared: “Okay, lock me up, but explain to my uncle why you locked me up; explain to my father why you locked me up … explain to Jesus why you locked me up.”
Park Police told the gatherers singing was not allowed at the memorial-- in this case “The Star-Spangled Banner”
" The National Park Service stated the gathering also constituted a demonstration. One park ranger even joked about getting their clubs out. "It was a joke, but still, how nonviolent was that?” Alveda King said. She did slip between the barriers and said her prayer, then she joined the pro-lifers still assembled on the sidewalk.
The LA Times just posted comments: "I hope he (Beck) says Obama hates white people again. That would make it truly hilarious and ironic," wrote dmblum1799.
Ucvbn Bjfyuvs says, "Glenn Beck's dream is a fascist (corporatist) dictatorship."
LA Times reader Michelle T commented, "Just another demonstration that Glenn Beck and his viewers are racist. How stupid does he think people are claiming that the rally being on the I Have a Dream Speech anniversary is coincidental? Claiming that it's divine intervention demonstrates he is far from being a true Christian. Christ would have had nothing to do with a hate monger like him."

near the spot where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech 47 years earlier to the exact dayTo the exact day! Wow! Unbelievable! How dare he!
And as Coulter (I think) said: the 47th anniversary!
And everybody knows the 47th is the big one.
These libtards are such looneytoons they don't even hear themselves anymore.
The chicken CNN reporter never once mentions that Alveda King will be a speaker that day.
“Christ would have had nothing to do with a hate monger like him.”
Sounds like she really hates him ...
WTF is a Conservative Shock Jock? Those two terms are like oil and water.
Beck is a principled Christian man. I believe what he is doing is the Christian way of herding the sheep, and I’m very much in favor of his message. We’ve lost our way as a country, and reverence for a Creator with a grander plan than our own is lost in politics from DC to your local school board.
These pukes posting comments have zero clue what it’s like to live under a fascist dictatorship.
bump for later
While I don’t want to abandon Beck yet, the company he keeps namely folks like the corrupt collaborator NRA is raising red flags.
Something smells.
Glenn Beck, RE-WRITING history???
Is he kidding?? He OBVIOUSLY doesn’t watch Glenn EVER. One CANNOT re-write history using original documents and the founders OWN words -IN complete context!!
baboon.
Many do not know that the original rally 47 years ago was NOT the Dr. King Rally. Dr. King was a featured speaker and his eloquence enshrined both his ideas and the day in history. But the rally was organized by one of the greatest warriors for civil rights andalso a Republican, the great A. Philip Randolph.
It really is ironic that these obamabots don't understand that this is exactly what obama and the democrat national socialists have created. Then again, thanks to an NEA dumbed down public eductaion indoctrination system, I guess it's no surprise these idiots don't know a "fascist (corporatist) dictatorship" even when they're living in one...
Willie (panties in a) Bunch.
ROTFLMAO!!! Hey, Willie...got any examples? No? Didn't think so.
It is the PROGRESSIVES who have been rewriting history to serve their agenda...just check any public school history book. Nice try, Willie.
Liberty, freedom, civil rights; those things are all stunts to Progressives.
Obama will announce that it is perfectly within Beck’s right to do this.
Two days later, he will amend what he said the first time by stating...
“Let me be perfectly clear...”
DAMN!!
It’s not like Glenn wants to build a MOSQUE or anything!
Good luck and God bless all of the patriots who attend and support this rally.
“In this alternate reality version of the past, the 20th century’s heroic battles over equal rights for racial and ethnic minorities, women and homosexuals are recast as a march toward socialism and away from the Founding Fathers. Meanwhile, flawed progressive Woodrow Wilson and even Teddy Roosevelt become America’s Lenin and Trotsky while it is the pre-Depression-era Calvin Coolidge who belongs on Mount Rushmore.”
Uh.... Well, thing is, Bunch, that’s not re-writing history...it’s “un-burying” history.
Thanks for playing, though.
i am so over Beck and his pandering and King worship
i just don’t get it
btw...Beck was on TV last nite saying all this was unintended
they had no idea when they booked the joint
Abe’s place
