Rev. Otis Moss, Jr.: King's "Faith to Believe"
I don't think today's problems are anything like what MLK and his followers faced. They put their lives on the line--and many of them lost their lives. Today it's not fire hoses or bombs that people face, it's pepper spray.
I think it's pretty "gutsy" to say what MLK Jr. would think about activism, or the Occupy Wall Street movement, in today's world. We can only see his actions as an example of how to act today.
