Letter to the Editor
By James J. Hankins
I am a 74–years-old vocational education teacher, freedom fighter and writer who followed Rev. King’s nonviolent movement from his beginning and read/listened to most of his speeches, sermons and books. To the Democratic Senators he would say” like a good physician, I did not come to give facelifts and tummy tucks but to treat the people with serious medical problems. Stand up and bravely represent the people who elected you.”He would say to the greedy and spineless Republicans Senators. – “somethings are so precious that they are worth dying for; if a man/woman has not found that something, he or she is not fit to live.” Rev. King’s strongest words will be to U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. “The constitution gave you and you alone the power to conduct a fair trial.
You must conduct a trial that your children, grandchildren and other generations from now will respect your decisions and honor the rule of law. Dr. King, the drum major, would organize the largest peaceful march on Washington D.C. from day one to the end of the court trial. This Nobel Peace Prize winner and father of three children would remind us of our responsibilities during this TRUMP revolution by looking at each of us in our eyes and asking: “Are you registered”?
