Martin Luther King and Lockheed Martin (when will they learn?)
Today I was at the Martin Luther King Demonstration at Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest war profiteer and nuclear weapons manufacturer. I was attempting to read King’s Riverside Church speech to employees and police in their driveway. — but as pictures show, only got partway.
