Timing Is Everything

(Fox News) - A Dallas minister who marched with Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. says Monday's national holiday honoring King is an insult to his legacy.

Rev. Peter Johnson says the observance should be on April 4, the anniversary of King's assassination: "We have ignored the essence of his life and the horror of his death. We've allowed white America to escape the guilt of his assassination and we've allowed black America to drift back into a coma... We remember him with parades and galas and banquets, things that are really irrelevant and silly regarding Dr. King's legacy. If we really want to honor Dr. King, we should do something about people who live under bridges."
