In remembering Martin Luther King Jr., Rev. Willie Bodrick II, senior pastor at Twelfth Baptist Church, tells WBUR's Radio Boston that we should be careful to 'not blunt his powerful radical voice.'
Martin Luther King Jr. speaks to a wildly cheering crowd of supporters on Jan. 2, 1965, in Selma, Ala. King was calling for a new voter registration drive throughout Alabama and promising to"march on the ballot boxes" unless African American are given the right to vote.
White-Hammond:"This has come at the point where King has expanded to a poor people's campaign that is attempting to unite folks across race across the country. He's bringing in white folks in Appalachia who've been struggling with poverty for generations. He's making commentary about the Vietnam War that people are saying, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Bodrick:"Dr. King is the child of a pastor. His dad, Martin Luther King Sr. — known affectionately as Daddy King — was the pastor of the great Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. And Dr. King grew up being shaped and molded by a great pastoral legacy.
Groover:"Dr. King's radical and righteous love, which I also think Coretta Scott King bore, was a love that talked about tearing down ... all divisions, human constructs that we create that separate us ... and they had that alternative vision — a vision that was separate and distinct from that of the prevailing world.
