Martin Luther King III: Beck's 8/28 Rally Doesn't Honor My Father's Ideals

Martin Luther King III: Beck's Rally Doesn't Honor My Father's Ideals

My father championed free speech. He would be the first to say that those participating in Beck's rally have the right to express their views. But his dream rejected hateful rhetoric and all forms of bigotry or discrimination, whether directed at race, faith, nationality, sexual orientation or political beliefs. He envisioned a world where all people would recognize one another as sisters and brothers in the human family. Throughout his life he advocated compassion for the poor, nonviolence, respect for the dignity of all people and peace for humanity.
