He was born 80 years ago

"Today is Martin Luther King Day. He was born 80 years ago, on January 15th, 1929. He was assassinated on April 4, 1968, at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. He was just thirty-nine years old.

Tomorrow, more than four decades after Dr. King’s death, Barack Obama will take his oath of office to become the 44th president of the United States and the first African American president in US history. The Reverend Joseph Lowery, a civil rights icon who co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference with Dr, King, will deliver the benediction at the inauguration ceremony. Obama accepted the Democratic party nomination on the 40th anniversary of Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, arguably his most famous address.

While Dr. King is primarily remembered as a civil rights leader, he also championed the cause of the poor and organized the Poor People"s Campaign to address issues of economic justice. Dr. King was also a fierce critic US foreign policy and the Vietnam War."

Le négationnisme

 

« Après l’acclamation d’une des figures du négationnisme par un triste clown qui ne fait plus rire grand monde, voici un article qui tombe à pic. Signée par Henry Rousso, spécialiste de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, cette contribution à la dernière livraison de la revue Cités tente de répondre à trois questions : pourquoi le négationnisme concerne t-il particulièrement la France ? pourquoi a-t-il connu un essor dans les années 1970 ? pourquoi à l’Université ? »
