The link in the public discourse between the careers of Barack Obama and much our black political elite is a marriage of convenience, with all the convenience on one side. Forty years in his grave, Dr. King's words and legacy call into question those who have modified his story, deleted his opposition to war, to empire and militarism, and counseled "pragmaticsm" or patience with injustice in his name. Dr. King and the movement he led were always impatient with injustice, and never shrank from bold, impolite or impolitic opposition to economic injustice at home or to war in our names abroad.
