LETTERS, Page 4Abernathy and King
It is discourteous to speak behind someone's back; it is
cowardly to publish derogatory allegations after that person is
deceased and unable to defend himself, as Ralph David Abernathy has
done in his memoir (NATION, Oct. 23). Martin Luther King Jr.'s
political and social accomplishments will rightfully continue to
be respected and honored by the world.
Jeffrey Prinsell
Marietta, Ga.
The media seem to feel it is proper to crucify a John Tower
for womanizing but in poor taste, bordering on discrimination, to
discuss King's philandering. Isn't it about time that the liberal
press cut out this double standard?
Berman E. Deffenbaugh Jr.
