[Program Note: I am taking the day off today. But I did want to post this link to a transcript of Martin Luther King Junior's "Drum Major Instinct" speech. This is the speech that was misquoted on his new memorial in Washington D.C., and you really have to read the speech itself to understand why the misquotation twisted the meaning of his words so drastically that people denounced it and demanded it be removed and replaced with his actual words. King was speaking about the "Drum Major Instinct" idea, which was not his own. He was using the speech to point out that being the one leading the parade is a natural, human instinct, but also one which led to some very negative places. He foreshadows his own funeral at the end of the speech, the important part which got misquoted. Even if you're pressed for time, read the first dozen paragraphs and the last dozen. And may King's legacy never die.]
