It is sad that MLK Jr. should be compared to that crass sadist Moses. No man like MLK Jr. should be compared to any of those demented biblical characters.

Re: The Reverend
I was living in the Middle East and North Africa during the years between 1956 and 1968. This was the time when the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. was most active. He came to my attention for the first time from an article in the Times or the Newsweek magazine . A strange affinity pulled me toward this man. He appeared to me to be the Moses of his people. The more I learned about him the more I believed in his greatness. His speeches and sermons seemed inspired and were inspiring. He, not unlike his master, was cut down for what he believed. Yet what he believed and preached shall stay with us as long as people value justice and truth.
