Kingdom Day Parade:
The Council on Racial Equality (CORE) sponsors a parade in honor of Martin Luther King each January which travels the two-mile distance from Martin Luther King Boulevard near Crenshaw to Western.
Sadly CORE is no longer what it once was. It is now a far right front group. Last year they had laura bush at their event in NYC and this year they had karl rove!

Call CORE at (323) 299-1234 to register your anger.
In light of the politics of Thomas, Rice and Powell it seems that people can be racist against their own race.
This is sad.
Black Power for Roy Innis and his friends, and what-evah to the global Black movement.
It's not that different than the deal that the capitalists cut with the working class in the post ww2-era. The working class were given the scraps from the rebuilding/taking of Germany and Japan, and they gave up their communist leanings.
If you want to see something similar, look up AIM - the olde American Indian Movement. They're down the same path, though not so far.
(There's a countervailing AIM force called Autonomous AIM, as well.)
