Does Corporate Cash buy the Dream?

As the National Civil Rights Museum steps up its fund-raising activities, it would certainly appear so.

Rather than following the examples of Dr. King by helping others, it now seems one can secure a place in Heaven with Corporate cash. The Civil Rights Museum has even organized a sweepstake where one lucky winner can "Drive The Dream" by winning a lexus car in their $50 ticket competition. Even by Museum standards, this latest initiative must be viewed as the most vulgar yet. It represents a flagrant slap in the face to everything Dr. King stands for.

The following organizations have already enlisted their support in donating cash towards the Museum's $8 million extension, where visitors can revel in the latest exhibits of violence kindly donated by the U.S. Justice Department.

 

Assisi Foundation - Autozone - City of Memphis - FedEx - First Tennessee Bank - The Plough Foundation - Promus Corporation - ServiceMaster

Shelby County Government - State of Tennessee - Storage USA - Harrah's Entertainment - Hyde Family Foundations

Perhaps sympathizers of this cause will follow Dr. King's example and consider their purchases very carefully in the future.
