Was It All A Dream?
Above: the front cover of "Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story," a 1956 comic book on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. distributed in the US and South America. (spotted via Boing Boing)
Also, streams of The Boondocks Episode 9, "Return of the King" where Huey imagines that Dr. King survived his 1968 assasination attempt, falls into a coma and eventually wakes up in the year 2000 right before before Election day. (via Nah Right)
Poplicks asks, "Progress? What progress?"
Shout to Patti Austin for putting on an increditble performance of jazz and R&B at last night's "MLK: A Gift Of Song" concert at the Wang Center in Boston.
And let's not forget other heroes of the Civil Rights movement like Ralph Abernathy, Ella Baker, Huey P. Newton and Stokely Carmichael.
Previously on The Kitchen:
- "It's easy to admire Dr. King, it's a challenge to follow him." - 2005 coverage of MLK, Jr. day.
- 37 Years Ago Today....
Finally, special birthday shout out to my girl Didi M. Keep making beautiful music, girl.
