Selling a Dream?
I was watching 60 minutes last night and they had a story about the Martin Luther King Jr. Family having exclusive rights to the Speeches and works of Martin Luther King Jr. The family is selling those rights to various companies to use in advertising and if a group or person is not contracted with the King Family they will be sued(CBS has been sues once before and USA today was sued a few years back for reprinting the "I Have a Dream Speech"). The family also wanted to sell all of Dr. King's Work to the Libary of Congress for 20 Million dollars. I personally think that is ok(Even though 98% of the libary's information is donated).
What do you all think of this:
My opinion is that if someone is going to make money off of Dr. King's Memory it should be his family.
