A few days ago I had the pleasure of meeting the Author Clarence Jones at the Harlem Library in NY. He served as speech writer and counsel to Martin Luther King, Jr., he just wrote a book called "Behind The Dream"....a look at behind-the-scenes events that led up to the writing of Martin Luther King Jr.'s immortal "I Have A Dream" speech. He talked about how he contributed to his famous speech and the circumstances leading to that day....He also talked about his relationship with Malcolm X, reparations and the state of black america today. He spoke with fire and conviction....Like a man that truly cared about his people....
