Black Leaders Criticize Beck For Holding Rally On King Anniversary
(Wall Street Journal) — Some African-American leaders are criticizing talk show host Glenn Beck for the date and location of his planned rally in Washington this weekend. The rally will be at the Lincoln Memorial, where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream Speech,’’ 47 years after King’s famous address. Beck has said he didn’t know that Aug. 28 was the anniversary of King’s speech until after he announced the event, but that he believed the rally was in keeping with King’s ideals. One of King’s nieces will address the rally, says a statement by organizers on Beck’s web site. Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor, is also scheduled to speak.
