AG Mukasey delivered some significant remarks ... Dr. King’s famous statement ...
Will the Rhetoric Be Matched By Action?
Scott Horton - Jan 21, 2008 - http://harpers.org/archive/2008/01/hbc-90002209


The Bush Administration has been notoriously awkward around the Black community and civil rights leaders, and time has gradually explained why. In seven years, the Bushies have struggled continuously to undo the nation’s civil rights infrastructure, attacking the legacy of Martin Luther King. Bush himself has shied away from speaking to Black audiences, and so have his senior officials.

On Saturday, Attorney General Mukasey delivered some significant remarks in an appearance at Washington’s historic Shiloh Baptist Church. They got little attention in the media. That’s unfortunate, because they speak directly to Bush’s awful legacy in the civil rights field, and they need to be read.

We all recall Dr. King’s famous statement that, in his words, “n injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” And there, most certainly, is still injustice in this great country.
