Martin Luther King Jr's Comments

Mr. King.  I disagree.  You were a civil rights activist WHILE you were the pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church.  

Dr. King,

I understand you have a Boston connection. (so much so that you donated your papers to Boston University.)  I believe you explain WHY you did this in a press conference.  When was the press conference and what were the reasons you donated these papers to Boston University?

Mr King,

Thank you very much for attending my graduation in 1958 with the rest of my family! I know you were in Arkansas to speak at Arkansas Agriculture Mechanical and Normal College’s commencement in Pine Bluff, so it means a lot to me that you took time out of your day to see me graduate! 

The Southern Christian Leadership Conference was a very great accomplishment for us, King.

You are incorrect on the date  of your press conference Dr. King.  It happened on 9/11/64.  Please Google the exact phrase, (which means put it in quotation marks,) "Dr. King explains why he donated his collection to Boston University" and you'll find this link.  LISTEN to the press conference and answer my question please. 

While you are at it could you please address some controversy that surrounded your donation of your papers?

Boston University is my own school. I studied here and this university means a lot to me. I think it is a great university. I felt like this university deserved the papers. They will take care of these papers. I feel as though this is the best place to deposit my papers. They will never be destroyed.

Hello Mr. King. I would like to give a large thank you and show my appreciation to you for arriving on June 6, 1966 to be a part of my March Against Fear and continuing to march on my behalf. Here is a photo of us together: King and I during the March Against Fear

Now forgive me if I'm wrong but this peaceful agenda we've got going on isn't cutting it for the revolution. So I suggest that we cause an uproar and bring some awareness, followed by action, to this revolution. I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man's problem just to avoid violence. So tell me, am I wrong?

Hello Dr.King,

I would just like to inform you that I was greatly impressed by your speech during the March on Washington. As you know, I was unable to attend due to being incarcerated down south for the Freedom Rides that were going on. While in jail, I was able to watch the March on Washington on a little black and white television set. During some of the speeches I wept, particularly during your now famous, “I have a dream” speech. I wish so badly that I could have been there with you all.

My Regards,

-James L. Farmer

Looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the SCLC when you come to Selma. Are you still coming on January 2?

Mr. King, I hope you are grateful for myself and a few others for making your birthday a national holiday. 

So how did that bullet feel when you got shot Dr. King. It didn't feel good did it, served you right.
