Monday night's discussion on the kdhx podcast Tangazo, was appropriately devoted to the legacy, of Dr. Martin Luther King jr.

Attorney Randall C Cahill, of the Cahill partnership law firm and Robert A Powell founder and CEO of the Portfolio Arts and Education Gallery. ——— Our discussion on Kings legacy, led to some heated debate, ie. was Kings, “I Have A Dream,” speech his defining moment, are was too little attention paid to his anti Vietnam war positions and his focus on human rights, as opposed to just civil rights for African Americans. ———— Are we as African Americans, better off today through Dr.Kings efforts towards integration, are have we loss the spirit of unity and a common cause,as a result of successfully integrating American society. Finally, have we as black folks arrived to the,”promised land,” that Martin Luther King jr foresaw.——— Our discussion is passionate and occasionally heated but then again, why shouldn't it be, given the struggle we have endured as a people, for justice and equality in these United States of America. ———
