The Jewish people should feel indebted to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He was Hashem’s messenger to the American people about ‘Civil Rights.’ He is to be credited for true religious freedom in this country and, by large, the insignificant amount of anti-Semitism on this side of the globe. His essence was pro-Semitic. He was a man who understood that the differences between people don’t make them different. Although the letter may be a hoax, as many claim, it is largely based on a speech he gave. Nevertheless, he didn’t have to say it; he did it. Unlike the NAACP and other ‘Civil Right’ groups that preach civil unity all day but don’t practice it, MLK was a man of honor and truth. His ‘dream’ enabled for many of us to achieve the ‘American dream.’ He should be honored today as an hero for all. We ought to carry on his legacy for a color-blind society where no one “will be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
