A generation that changed America: Bond, King, Wilkins, Marshall, Randolph, Abernathy, Farmer, et al. Too many of us only know Dr King’s name but each of these did enormous good each in his own way. I firmly believe that M L King Day should be renamed Civil Rights Day to honor all who worked, were jailed, and sometimes beaten or killed for the same dream. Not a dream of racial separation as some later black power advocates wanted because they did not have faith in Dr King’s Christian ethics or in America, but one of understanding and integration.
