Yesterday on PBS Lehrer Newshour, Judy Woodruff interviewed four prominent African-Americans concerning the legacy of Martin Luther King.   Here's the link to that transcript:

What I found interesting is that when these people spoke, I found myself nodding my head and saying "Yes.  Yes.   THIS is what we seek in a President."   Not the faux progressive being shoved down our throats in this primary.  The contrast between what they had to say and what we have heard from Mr. Obama was striking.  In particular Cory Booker and John McWhorter expressed  very articulately the view that it is actions, not words, which define the true legacy of Martin Luther King.

and looking for your person's name under each candidate.   I found my District representative Anna Eshoo in Obama's list and today I wrote her the following letter:
