The rules are different for them.We taxpayers of America even had to pay them to use his quotes on the memorial to him. My favorite was back in the day when they asked to guvment to 'buy' all his papers for like 23 million, but custody, control and copyright would stay with them. Sweet deal if you can get it!
I am a King admirer. I have been to the Highland School outside Knoxville where he and like minded folks used to gather to plan and organize. I sat and talked with two women who were there, with pictures in the scrapbook to prove it. It was fascinating to talk with these ladies. The way the movement has been hijacked by race and poverty pimps would and should turn stomach everywhere.
For those that don't know, the whole Selma event was NOT a spontaneous event. It was planned. In the Great Room of the lodge of the Highland School. Once again, I have seen the pictures. Rosa Parks was chosen over another lady for the actual act of civil disobedience because of her impeccable reputation within the local community. The other lady in consideration had already had a run in or two with local officials I believe. Anyway Rosa was chosen, a date set, and the rest as they say is history.
Another little known fact is that the Reverend Jackson ran and hid like a little girl when the gunshots rang out. Only AFTER it had been deemed safe did he go back the the body of Rev. King, dip his hands in is supposed friends blood and wipe it on his shirt and then "pose" for the infamous pic of him hovering over King's body. There was internal strife among the 'group' of supporters because some, Jackson et. al., who wanted to use the movement for personal financial gain at the time, but Rev. King unequivocally denied them that perversion of his 'dream'.
