5 Feet of Fury

‘Get your ‘I Have a Dream’ fortune told at a 1-800 number…’

…make a cake with “Batter from a Birmingham Jail”; drink an “I’ve Been to the Mountain Dew Top”; if you’re lost, use the “Where Do We Go From Here” GPS; play in the “Edmund Pettus Bridge Tournament”; get a lottery ticket for the “SNCC Six” game, where you win if you rub off the names of a half-dozen leaders of the sit-in movement . . . and so it goes on. (As I write this, a TV ad has just come on for the “Joseph A. Bank Martin Luther King Day Sale” and I’ve learned that ESPN is airing a national MLK Day NBA game.)
