that Martin met with Elijah in the 1960s. Didn't mean they were going to become close friends. (Martin and Malcolm, however, were joining forces on certain issues!)

There is enough room for both sides of this issue to give a little leeway. People can dislike Louis and not be white racists. And people can admire him and not be black racists. We are not on a fence. We are not at a point in history where one group will survive, while another perishes. We will either witness a growth spurt in our ability to embrace each other as part of the human family, or we will die the lonely death of fools. Both Martin and Malcolm recognized that in the 1960s. We should today.
