The Republic of Principle:
Celebrating Dr. King, as Hamilton Would Have Wished
by Dennis H. Speed
Jan. 20—The 225 participants in the Schiller Institute's Jan. 17 Martin Luther King Weekend conference held at New York City's Riverside Church, and the national and international audiences connected to that event live by Internet, experienced an all-too-rare occurrence in the trans-Atlantic world today: spiritual elevation. While it might be expected that such a thing should happen in a church, the means for this elevation was the wielding of the principle of Classical tragedy, in the service of reversing the likely global catastrophe of thermonuclear war.

- The Republic of Principle:
Celebrating Dr. King, as Hamilton Would Have Wished

From a personal reminiscence by Ramsey Clark, about the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery March, to Helga Zepp-LaRouche's recounting of the 25-year campaign for the World Land-Bridge, the conference ignited a 'Promethean fire' in the audience to at last realize the dreams Hamilton and King.
