Guest guest Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Where would MLK be without the media? Civil rights moved pretty darn slow until MEDIA started showing people staging protests at lunch counters. Then EVERYONE started doing lunch counter sit-ins. Parks was just one little lady sitting on a bus until the MEDIA got a hold of the story. MLK was just a preacher until the MEDIA started following him around. Want action? Don't wait for politician saviors. Call the MEDIA or (even better) they call YOU.
