Martin Luther King Jr. Dies in Vancouver B.C. at 91 years old

.. that headline taken from a classic Boondocks episode tells it all.. With the help of Aaron McGruder MLK Jr. was brought to life in a controversial and classic episode where King is not dead, but alive and upset with Black people in the current state of Amerikkka. What would King think, what would he do if he was alive to witness us today?? It is ironic that a Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial is planned on the National Mall when this same nation is still opressing people of color worldwide... makes you ponder the episode more.. doesnt it..? Find the "Return of the King" episode at your local DVD dealer. ...
Will.I.Am and Common bring the echos of King and his essence on the new track 'I Have a Dream,' on the Freedom Writers Soundtrack.
