Welcome to Progress After Dark.

Good evening to everybody out there on the West Coast driving home in your vehicles.

Hello to everybody else in the middle and the East Coast.

Welcome, to tell me everything, bring in good trouble and the East Coast. Welcome to tell me everything. Bring in good

trouble to the right-wing bubble. I'm John Fuegal saying here for the next couple

hours we're going to be with you right here on channel 127 at 866 9974748 we would love to hear from you.

You know the worst thing that could happen to Reverend Dr Martin Luther King Jr's memory

would be for us to forget that he was an activist driven by politics, driven by faith,

to reduce MLK to a marble statue of a long ago great man to lean on a few quotes devoid of context.

I mean, one major political party only seems to know part of one MLK

quote, and they use it to dull his movement year after year.

We remember Dr. King is a civil rights activist, but they've buried his very Christian commitment

against war, his very Christian commitment for organized labor.

At the time he died, civil rights was only one facet of his ministry. The worst thing would be to forget

how he was a rebel who threatened an entire power structure and why. So you've

probably heard a lot in the news about Jonathan Dygg's acclaimed epic new biography King a life

hailed by the Washington Post as the most compelling account of King's life in a

generation. Ken Burns has called it a miracle. Mr. Igg's other works include

a life as well as his works on the birth control pill and about the life of Lou Gehrig, but nothing will prepare you for how epic in scope this biography is.
