Today we listened to words of wisdom from the current President of the SCLC, Charles Steele, at the Center for Civil and Human Rights. He spoke on his knowledge of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's career as president of the SCLC and reveled many truths that have never been revealed by public media. It is widely believed that MLK was assassinated by man who disagreed with his beliefs but in reality, many people who worked closely with MLK, such as his photographer and accountant, were on the FBI's payroll. Also, MLK spoke out against the Vietnam war many times which is why the government may have had him killed. This discussion really opened my eyes and made me realize that the government and the system that it is built on is the real enemy to equality and civil rights.
