The following is a response to an article I read on American Thinker titled,"Dr. King and the Tea Partiers" by Sally Zelikovsky. I don't know yet if it will be approved and posted but regardless, I wanted to share it with everyone here. All the excerpts quoting her original article can be found here. All quotes from "I Have a Dream" a speech by Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. were from American Rhetoric. So here goes:
Dear Sally,
I first wanted to say that as a "person on the left" how much I sincerely appreciated reading your article. The vast majority of Americans, regardless of race, have felt that their voice wasn't heard or are being treated unjustly at least once (usually more) in their lifetime. You used his letter to show the points which speak to the beliefs you hold dear to your heart and this also clearly defines the reasons why so many feel such a connection to Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., regardless of what our personal story is. I think one of the truly incredible things to come out of this, is we all are going to gain a deeper understanding of how much Dr. King (and many others throughout history and the world) have done for all humanity.
