Episode 576| Martin: Flawed, Human, Bold and Co-opted

***EPISODE 576 | Notes and Links***Dr. King is probably the most co-opted historical figure second only to Jesus Christ. I don’t want to discuss him in terms of any political agenda or even my own ambition. I want to discuss the father, the husband and the man. **********************************************************************************Thanks to all of our newest patrons! No new patrons today!
