Andrew Young: 'I'd Have Taken a Bullet for MLK'

&Ldquo;Even people in civil rights organizations didn’t know about the importance of St. Augustine,” Young told Newsmax in an exclusive interview on the eve of the memorial’s commemoration. “They were so totally focused on Washington because that’s where the debate was going on. But where the crisis was, was St. Augustine.” “In June, Martin Luther King realized what was going on, and how tense it was,” said Young. “And he said if there is violence in St. Augustine, no matter who starts it, and if the black community responds to the violence of the Klan, even a defensive violence, it will be blown out of proportion and it will be used by the filibusters in the senate to kill the Civil Rights bill. So he sent me to stop the movement, to convince them they were better off to stop marching, to let the federal government act.” “I felt when we got to the place where the people saw the Klan, that I could explain to them what Dr. King had said about not needing to march, that we could trust this to the Congress, and the less we do right now the better,” Young told Newsmax. “Because he was afraid to risk violence, and we had not done a lot of nonviolent training in the black community there. That was the first of a series of marches throughout June that captured the media’s eye even as the debate over the Civil Rights Act raged in Washington. They culminated in the arrest of King himself on June 11, and the infamous images of the owner of the Manson Motor Lodge, James Brock, pouring acid into the motel’s pool in assault against African-Americans who were bathing in it. And through the struggle, the black community refrain from resorting to violence. “St. Augustine has a rich history going way back to the Union army in the Civil War, native American Seminoles, and black Indians who were mixtures of the escaped slave population and the Indians of central Florida,” Young told Newsmax. “When you go from Ponce de Leon to the present, St. Augustine has been through all of the problems of a small American city. And they’re still working together trying to solve them.

It has been suggested in a number of places that Apple simply underestimated the cost of free apps (to them) and is now trying to claw back revenue where it can (first by allowing in-app purchasing for free apps, something Jobs said would never happen: 'Free apps stay free', then via iAds, then via this subscription service) while at the same time providing a service to its customers (who do not have to enter their creditcard for every in-app purchase or subscription anymore).
