Two important books on MLK Jr highlight his radical message: James Cone’s “Martin & Malcolm & America: A Dream or a Nightmare” and Vincent Harding’s “Martin Kuther King: An Inconvenient Hero.” 50 years after his death are we ready for his vision?

Just bought the first, thankyou.
Earlier tonight rewatched 'The Way' with my wife who hadn't seen it.
What a film.
Knew Martin Sheen is the most arrested star (at protests).
Did not know he was so associated with Dorothy Day.
'Entertaining Angels' is next!

Recommend “Revolution of the Heart”-/ new documentary about Dorothy Day. Martin Sheen (and others) has a great supporting role.

Unfortunately, the answer is no. America still is ready for his vision 50 years after his death.

I appreciate this memorial about my father by @ggrenwald above any I have read today--for his comprehensive review of his bio & history, for his attention to themes generally overlooked about his post-Vietnam life, but particularly for deep appreciation of his human qualities.🙏
