Edit: On the However, I'm reading through this, Rick, not meaning to ignore your point, I just want to read and digest before responding. Basically, I do see what you mean and I do see where it's necessarily wrong to posit MLK as an example here. It was a mostly random choice, as he was the first social leader I could think of off-hand. I would have just as readily used someone such as Susan B. Anthony or someone similar. I meant any social movement. Not just those that are racially fueled.
