Mrs.King deserves admiration --I have not finished watching this series yet so perhaps Prof. Carson mentions this--or perhaps I am wrong--so I speak under correction. I have heard that at at least one event Mrs. King refused to sit at the same table with Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer--perhaps the greatest person I have ever met. Mrs. Hamer was poor and class divisions in the Black community were pronounced--if I am wrong I'd appreciate correction--thanks.

@Teaparty111. Firstly, good you're not a TeaParty head, they are very destructive to true freedom seekers. Re the speaker in the video, he actually isn't boring to me, his subject matter is intriguing. Peace

@gigagroove I hate the tea party people overall--I am a socialist liberal.

@gigagroove HELLO--sir i am not a tea party supporter. I had the name before there was such a group. A teaparty is a group of friends smoking hemp together. You mada an assumption but that is alright we all do that from time 2 time. Peace.

@teaparty111 Coming from a teaparty supporter, your rather vision-less response is predictable. Maybe you want him to play some music and be more animated (possibly tap dance also). Come on we're all adults, some speakers are less animated, but if you're truly looking for wisdom then listen to the man and stop posting negative messages. Go to the tea party and leave truth seekers alone !

@tamesthetic Agree. still I give them some props for having the tenacity and wisdom to give him a place to teach truth. But better equipment would be great also.
