Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is our hero. Filmmaker Lee Daniels, who’s upcoming “Selma” is intended as a respectful biopic of the Civil Rights leader, apparently feels the same way. As to be expected, there’s some controversy about what Mr. Daniels will, should or won’t depict in terms of the moral weaknesses of Dr. King, and we’re pleased that the producer behind “Monster’s Ball” is erring on the side of respect.  Thank you Dr. King, thank you President Lyndon Johnson, and thank you Jesse Jackson and countless others behind the cause.
