  1. Calling it now, the priest in the video is introduced as a character. He and the mom have been having an affair and doing junk together. That's why the church is the, "Only one place she'd be," He's the biological father of the youngest son, either he's the one the father killed in 'Letters Home' or he's the one that the youngest son goes to see at the end of 'Travels.'

  2. Here's a question, in 'Empty Days & Sleepless Nights' the older brother refers to his father as an "airborne man."

     

    In 'Letters Home,' the father appears to be an infantryman, "Hold fast, defend."

     

    Also in 'Letters Home,' the father refers to his dead brother as, "sleeping at the bottom." (Plane crash?)

     

    Conclusion, maybe the father's brother was the airborne man, but the father told his sons war stories about his brother but claimed them as his own?

  3. I think I remember Howard Zinn warning to be cautious about applying the morale and cultural standards of the present to people from the past in a people's history. Pretty much everyone who lived more than 100 years ago did things we would strongly frown on today, even the ones we celebrate. They wil probably find fault in some of Dr. King's actions in 100 years from now.

     

    Too late, Dr. King advocated for equality which is inconsistent with the idea of "racism = power + privilege."
