Black American Singer/Songwriter Lloyd Marcus Speaks About MLK Day

My Good Friend Lloyd Marcus Sent this Letter to the Editor of Washington Times :

Celebrating minority excellence and brotherhood between the races would be the perfect tribute to Martin Luther King. This embodies his famous dream. But characterless politicians and activists exploit our annual national MLK holiday as an opportunity for extortion and promotion of their religion of victimization.

Oprah Winfrey is the most influential woman in American media. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, another black woman, could become the next president of the United States. Yet, every MLK Day, the usual suspects attempt to sell the lie that minority opportunity and race relations in America have not progressed beyond the 1950s.

Such rhetoric is divisive and poisonous to our youth. As a black American, I find this extremely offensive. A more productive approach to honoring MLK would be to use the occasion of his birthday to showcase minority achievements, higher test scores, random acts of kindness and brotherhood between the races.

Such examples are more prevalent than the negatives. Sadly, for those with selfish agendas, the truth threatens their livelihood. Good people, let's focus on the positive steps we are making, moving closer to the fulfillment of Martin Luther King's dream.

Listen to Lloyd's Music Here !

Lloyd wrote and sings the closing medley here on Talk Show America. I would especially recommend "United We Stand" written and sung by Lloyd Marcus as a tribute to our nation after 9/11. Other songs worthy of your support include "Welcome Home Brother", a tribute to Vietnam Vets, "WWII Medley" a tribute to WWII Vets using songs from that era, and "It's About Love", a song Lloyd dedicated to Terry Schiavo. These songs and many more PATRIOTIC songs are on his album "United We Stand" , I HIGHLY RECOMMEND buying the album folks, Lloyd is a great guy and a staunch patriot !

"When the lord made Lloyd, I think he broke the mold, a great song writer, a great talent and a TRUE PATRIOT, God Bless him".
