Dr. King used Gandhi's commitment to non-violence and to passive resistance.

It seems some have chosen to ignore or have simply forgotten the big-picture vision promoted by Dr. King and his kin.

In 1999, I was in St. Louis with Martin Luther King III as we led protests against the state's failure to hire minority contractors for highway construction projects. We went at dawn on a summer day with over a thousand people and performed acts of civil disobedience.

I really believe in non-violence, but I also believe in a short of resistance that has to be respectful.

In Staten Island, when you have video showing the alleged chokehold used on Eric Garner, why not go to trial and have the officer(s) explain the tape, and then this jury can determine guilt or innocence? The tape should guarantee that there should be a trial.

It's simply incorrect to call Dr. King a Republican.
