Today in the United States they celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Fifty years ago this March King was involved in a march in Selma to bring attention to voter rights, which was a movie playing in local theatres. One of the participants, John, Lewis, who had his skull crushed, was recently accused by Trump as being all talk, no action.
