Did you know that as a child MLK Jr. used to sell ice cream?:
"I have a dreamsicle...." ;D
Subject: Re: 40 years of "I have a dream..."
I wonder...
If MLK gave his "I Have A Dream" speech today, do you think he would be sued by the ACLU, The Southern Poverty Law Center and the Separation of Church and State people? After all, King does acknowledge God in his speech, and he gave it from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial...
Just wondering...

I think you're pressing it GF. The First Amendment freedom of speech garuntees would protect him, especially as a minister. And they had a permit. What is unfortunate is that the remarks of A. Phillip Randolph and others were subsumed by King's powerful speach. What they had to say is at least as important.
