c ontinued from p age 9
in 1985 was vying for a federal
judgeship. Sessions, who Trump
calls “brilliant”, is his choice for
U.S. Attorney General. In a re-
cently surfaced 10-page letter to
the Senate Judiciary Committee,
King had called him “lacking in
judgment and temperament who
would irreparably harm the work
the movement had done to seize a
slice of democracy for disenfran-
chised blacks.”
King opposed Sessions for his
attempt to prosecute three civil
rights activists from Marion, Ala.
for voter fraud -- accusations that
were later proved unmerited. Her
opposition to Sessions ran deep
because she grew up right out-
side of Marion which before the
movement launched its successful
voter rights drive were unable to
counter terrorizing attacks on their
lives and property. Civil rights
activists fear that Sessions will
not hold law enforcement officials
accountable for the episodic inci-
dents of unarmed black men being
murdered, as was done under the
Obama administration.
In the battle to stop Sessions
and others who seemed primed
to push back advances in human
rights, Coretta would not have
panicked. In her memoir, she said,
“Struggle is a never-ending pro-
cess and freedom is never really
won. You earn it and win it in ev-
ery generation.”
And so it goes.

national debt. The super-rich reap
the enormous benefits of growing
their wealth in U.S. society, but
they’re freeloaders when it comes
to paying the bills.
Historically, being wealthy
hasn’t disqualified a president
from being a champion for those
with less. There are many exam-
ples of “born on third base” presi-
dents: Roosevelt, Kennedy, Bush.
The test of leadership is whether
they put the country ahead of their
own narrow personal financial in-
terests.
For Trump, the estate tax is the
first such text.
Making America great doesn’t
mean giving booster rockets to
multi-generational dynasties of
wealth. We need one tax system
that’s fair to everyone.
