Martin Luther King III thanked Glenn Beck and leaders of the "Restoring
Honor" rally for honoring his father on the steps of the Lincoln
Memorial Saturday and King hopes that there can be dialogue between
civil rights leaders and Beck's followers.
"I would like to see both communities working together to make America a better place because whether one is Republican or Democrat, Tea Party or independent," King said in an interview after he closed out the March. "What is relevant is that together we can roll up our sleeves to make America better."
King III was the final speaker during the "Reclaim the Dream" march that ended with participants being greeted by those who participated in the Beck rally at the Lincoln Memorial. As the marchers filed past each other, greets, information and even bottles of water were exchanged.
"Bless y'all," said Kathryn Travis as she watched the King marchers file past her as she left the memorial grounds. "I think that it is good that we can disagree but we can still love each other."
While many of the speakers at the "Reclaim the Dream" rally condemned
Beck for hosting an event on the 47th anniversary of his father's
speech, King III said nobody can hijack his father's message.
