This is good news.  It is not right to teach children hate or to mistreat children because of their race or for any reason whatsoever.

I was browsing the web (Google) searching for matches to the query "Mary Neal USDOJ" when I came upon a MySpace site by Dreamer aka Rappstarr (408 & Heartbreak) 4/08 The MC.  He did a blog:  MySpace_OscarGrant_Dreamer_aka....

In his blog, I thank him very much for posting my article about Oscar Grant entitled:

Oscar Grant:  1st Unarmed Black Man Killed by Police in 2009 - Next?
http://my.nowpublic.com/world/oscar-grant-1st-unarmed-black-man-police-killed-2009-next

Dreamer's blog had a different ending to my Oscar Grant article than it should, because I edited the piece after his printing.  I have put the updated ending of that article here.  THE CENSORSHIP AGAINST MLK 40 YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH THE SHOULD NOT GO UNNOTICED.  Online text versions of Dr. King's speech should be corrected, and I am sure the publishers would want it corrected if they knew.

When I saw Dreamer's blog tonight, my computer tried to shut down (my computer is in the control of others).  The Dreamer may have a popular site, and there are those who are against African Americans knowing Dr. King's true words apparently object to my notifying publishers of the needed corrections.  

When I put the information about the needed corrections in my EXPOSED blog on Google, someone tried to have the entire blog listed as spam and shut down.  That is how determined the same people who censor me are to keep Dr. King's online versions of his final speech presented incorrectly to the public.

Martin Luther King, Jr.'s final speech, "I've Been to the Mountaintop," suffers censorship in one of its two most often used quotes.

Dr. King spoke to the people who met in Memphis, Tennessee on April 3, 1968, to hear what turned out to be MLK's last address to the people that he would ever make.  He spoke about the need for courage in their struggle for civil rights and for decent treatment in a country that was their home, but that refused to acknowledge them as full citizens endowed with the same rights as others.

Here is the ending to my article and a link to the document that shows the needed edits to correct online renditions of Dr. King's speech:

*******************************

We hope for positive CHANGE under Mr. Holder as Attorney General, and increased accountability regarding police violence to men of color and to all citizens.  Equal justice is important to everyone, as noted by Rev. Martin Luther King, whose birthday we will soon celebrate.  

This writer was very displeased to learn that Rev. King's final address, "I've been to the Mountaintop" had been fraudulently edited in 18 of the 20 online printed versions of that famous speech, leaving out key phrases having to do with "illegal injunctions" and "dogs and water hoses."  Due to much censorship, it was very hard for me to alert the public that the printed versions of that speech presented by 90% of the online versions, which were presented as being authentic, omitted text.  After publishing news of the misprinted text on December 17 and my article was verified and carried by CLG News, I noted some online publishers were correcting their online text.  I hope this continues and that other of our historic and valued speeches by great Americans will be checked thoroughly to ensure the integrity of the historic record.  Please see the link below:

MLK's Final Speech Fraudulently Edited to Change History
http://my.nowpublic.com/culture/mlks-final-speech-was-fraudulently-edited-change-history

The best way not to have to re-write history as seems to be the case with Rev. King's final speech online - fabricate false accounts of citizen's deaths, or violate the law by falsifying or withholding public records, as happened in my brother's jailhouse death - is to do just as Rev. King admonished in his final public address on April 3, 1968.  Rev. King advised America to "just be true to what you said on paper."

************************************

Right now, children are learning their parts for BLACK HISTORY MONTH PROGRAMS across America, and they are being taught the wrong quote - a horrible fake, not Dr. King's exact words at all.

I ASK AGAIN, WHY IS THERE STILL AN EFFORT TO RE-WRITE BLACK HISTORY IN AMERICA?

WHY WERE DR. KING'S REFERENCES TO AMERICA'S "ILLEGAL INJUNCTIONS" AND HAVING TO FACE "DOGS AND WATER HOSES" DELETED FROM HIS FINAL SPEECH SO OFTEN IN ONLINE PRESENTATIONS OF HIS SPEECH AT A QUOTE THAT IS MOST OFTEN USED AND TAUGHT TO OUR CHILDREN?

I will not stand silently by while Dr. King is mistreated even in death.  He was dogged out in life, assassinated due to prejudice and a desire to silence his message about the common brotherhood of man and the importance of standing up for rights even in the face of opposition from one's government.

Please read the article, see the censorship, and correct all online text presentations of Dr. King's final speech.  I request that every publisher who offers Dr. King's "I've Been to the Mountaintop" address to take a look at the text you published and ensure that it is an accurate rendition of Dr. King's words. 

Some may think Dr. King's speech is misquoted in 90% of the online text versions of his final speech due to some error.  However, I know what happened with my computer when I tried to publish the information.  My computer is already under close watch, you see, due to my family's justice quest regarding the secret incarceration and wrongful death of Larry Neal in Shelby County Jail, Memphis, Tennessee and to curtail our efforts to expose my family's subsequent denial of justice by the USDOJ and others.  CyberStalkers may be hired to curtail information about The Johnnie Cochran Firm FRAUD. (Google it)

I HATE CENSORSHIP.  CENSORSHIP ON THE INTERNET IS EQUAL TO NAZI BOOK BURNING.

I note that my presentation of the information about MLK's speech being censored in this Sharebook was changed to that very faint font that means that either it cannot copy, print, and it may be earmarked for later removal.  See it here and compare the font with other posts - http://www.care2.com/c2c/share/detail/990176

Fredrick Douglas had this to say about the practice of curtailing one's freedom of speech and freedom of press:  "It is just as criminal to rob a man of his right to speak and hear as it would be to rob him of his money."

I MADE A STARTLING DISCOVERY:   Rev. Martin Luther King’s final speech has omissions and substituted text in 18 out of 20 online sources I checked. The red brackets in the quote below denote omissions of text in most versions of Rev. King's “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech.  They omit Dr. King's reference to "illegal injunctions" that he and other human rights marchers faced.  The censorship force also eliminated his reference to "dogs and water hoses" that protestors had to endure. Dr. King delivered this famous address in Memphis, Tennessee on April 3, 1968, the day immediately preceding his assassination.  Rev. King was shot in the face as he stood alone on the balcony of the Lorraine Hotel on April 4 during a strike by sanitation workers in Memphis.  Memphis, Tennessee is not a good place to expect justice. 

Apparently Rev. King is being censored over four decades after his death.

Here is the actual speech at the LINK below:  http://www.scholarspot.com/video/1318/1968-Martin-Luther-King-s-Prophetic-Last-speech-Remember


THE ONLINE VERSIONS AT ISSUE HAVE THIS TEXT IN 18 OUT OF 20 SOURCES I CHECKED. Errors are noted by brackets, and the related link appears underneath each misquote below.  See the article for the correct text! 

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.' If I lived in China or even Russia, or any totalitarian country, [omission] maybe I could understand the denial of certain basic First Amendment privileges, because they hadn't committed themselves to that over there. But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of the press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right[omit "s"]. And so just as I say, we aren't going to let [omission] any injunction turn us around. We are going on."

There are many more examples of the misquote in online documents that are presented as being literal translations of Rev. King's "Mountaintop" speech. Because identical errors recur in online publications, this may be deliberate misinformation on the part of whoever supplied the speech to publishers. It would behoove anyone with access to the Rev. King’s entire collection of speeches on videotape to listen carefully for other misquotes being presented to the public.

During the 1970’s, Black History gained popularity in universities because African American history was omitted from or misrepresented in American History classes. My highschool textbooks of the 1960's and 1970's had little or no mention of slavery, for instance.

Laws barring the right for Rev. King and other demonstrators to peacefully assemble and petition their government for a redress of grievances were "illegal injunctions." Furthermore, dogs and water hoses were regularly used against demonstrators during the civil rights movement. It seems ridiculous for anyone to intentionally change Rev. King's speech to leave out those references.

WHY IS THERE STILL AN EFFORT TO RE‑WRITE BLACK HISTORY?  I FEEL BETTER NOW ABOUT BEING CENSORED.  REV. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. IS STILL BEING CENSORED 40 YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH.

Martin Luther King, Jr. and I seem to have much in common. His freedom quest ended in Memphis, Tennessee on April 3, 1968, by an assasin's bullet. Serious questions and allegations of a police coverup linger to this day. My family's justice quest began in Memphis on August 1, 2003, with my mentally ill brother's secret arrest and wrongful death while in police custody. Due to an elaborate cover-up, although it is now five years later, Larry Neal's family is not allowed to know why he was secretly arrested or exactly how he died. Authorities refuse to answer his family's simple question: Why and how did Larry Neal die?

Rev. King was a great human rights advocate who devoted himself to liberating oppressed people. He used the Word of God and his gift as an orator to make a positive difference in the world.

Since Larry's death, my family has established ASSISTANCE TO THE INCARCERATED MENTALLY ILL, a human rights organization with an online presence on Care2 and other Internet networks. This writer spends long hours advocating for oppressed mental patients and their families, trying to save others from suffering as my family has by an unjust system of "justice."

Martin Luther King, Jr. was assasinated. This writer remains home day after day after being followed for months and accosted several times at businesses in her neighborhood by parties unknown. The stalking has been going on ever since Larry Neal's family successfully served a lawsuit to The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm for fraud, alleging that The Cochran Firm contracted with Larry's mother immediately following his death in order to protect Memphis/Shelby County Jail, then merely held the wrongful death lawsuit against the jail to linger inactive on the law firm's shelves while Tennessee's statute of limitations ran for 10.5 months (the statute of limitations on such matters is only 12 months in Tennessee).

The plight of African Americans living under Jim Crow and their quest for civil rights spearheaded by Rev. King and other African American leaders were ignored, met with violence by authorities, and censored in mainstream news until the civil rights movement became impossible to ignore.  Rev. King took it to the streets. Thousands of people joined Rev. King and the Freedom Fighters as they marched for equal rights under the law. The quest to render basic human rights and civil rights to 1.25 million mental patients who are presently wrongly imprisoned in America for reason of their mental dysfunctions may require a similar effort.  Just as Rev. King and his Freedom Fighters marched across the Selma, Alabama bridge, Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill members march across the Internet to alert the public of the injustice inherent in imprisoning rather than treating citizens for mental illness. 

It would be unfortunate if Larry Neal's family has to move our justice quest from the Internet and courtrooms to the streets of Atlanta (home of the Court-declared "non-existent Cochran Firm office) and Memphis to alert the world to the lack of justice rendered to mental patients and their families following abuses and deaths of mentally handicapped Americans. It is regretable if 40 years after Rev. King's assasination, it still takes public demonstrations to secure human rights and justice in America, especially when those victimized are African Americans, like Larry's family, or tens of thousands of families of whatever race who have loved ones similarly victimized for reason of mental illness.

All we say to America is "Be true to what you said on paper:  'One nation under God indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.'"
