'All Rev'd Up' — Have We Strayed From Dr. King's Message? Revs. Monroe And Rivers Discuss

The Rev. Irene Monroe and the Rev. Eugene F. Rivers III joined Jim Braude and Margery Eagan to talk about Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Jim and Margery asked Monroe and Rivers how Dr. King would have felt about Barack Obama becoming President, about gay rights within the civil rights movement, and about commercial perversions of Martin Luther King Day.

How do you celebrate the day? Is it a day of rest and recuperation, of service and spiritual awakening? Or has it become too much like any other day of the year? Leave a comment below, or on our Facebook and Google+ pages.
