[extropy-chat] MLK, JFK, RFK, Lennon...

[Ned Late]

James Forman wasn't nearly as well known as King. King
came out publicly against the Vietnam War, then months
later he is shot. Did Forman denounce the war? If he
did, was his opposition to the war widely publicised?

JFK started the Apollo Program, and pushed for the
Civil Rights Bill-- passed soon after he was killed.
