"Maybe if they read the speech rather than try to reclaim something that is imaginary, they would understand it," the Reverend Al Sharpton Friday jabbed at Glenn Beck and his legions of followers, who are expected to attend his Restoring Honor rally Saturday morning at the Lincoln Memorial on the 47th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s, "I Have A Dream" speech.

Civil rights leaders and Sharpton will be commemorating the day with a march from Dunbar High School to the intended site for the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial on the Mall while Beck, who works for Fox News Channel, will be holding his rally at the site where the momentous speech took place. Sharpton and others believe that Beck intentionally planned his rally for that day to derail their message and divide the people.

And I say that someone planned to hijack the site and the message of Martin Luther King Jr. in an effort to use it against the very principles of inclusion that we talk about in America," said the Reverend Walter Fauntroy, who marched with King and was by his side during the speech forty-seven years ago. (read more)
