We marched for Trayvon, but even after the Zimmerman arrest, we did not have the power to stop what happened to Jordan Davis and so many others. The issue is power: the ability of a community to determine its own fate. The legacy of Dr. King has been completely bastardized; this is what hinders black America from cultivating that power. We have been told about the “Dream” and have been duped into the belief that the fulfillment of the Civil Rights Movement was the freedom to sit at a lunch counter and make whites wealthier. If there is any hope for the ultimate promise of black people in America, it will be in recovering the Dr. King from April 4th of 1968: the one feared, shunned, hidden and denied by America. - See more at: buff.ly/1iiaggF
