A happy memory: 2013 when #HarryBelafonte , Joan Baez and my dad were honored by the War Resisters League. Belafonte quoted King who was accused of “preaching to the choir.” “If I stop preaching to the choir they might stop singing.” He told the activists: “Keep singing.”

Thx for sharing. I find that criticism of MLK odd. Reading Taylor Branch's story of the civil rights movement, MLK was constantly trying to find the right tone & message to expand his reach. It's how the Voting Rights and Civil Rights Acts were passed into law.
