Pacifying Dr. King

We should all be able to agree that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was "confrontational." He was also wise, measured, visionary, good-natured and generous of heart -- like most great figures in history, he was complicated. But he didn't ask for an end to Jim Crow repression, he demanded it; he didn't request equal justice, he required it. Confrontation, basically, was the whole point.
