> "I have a dream" doesn't derive its power from any law King helped pass, but from how it reorganized our relationship with possibility.

MLK was an incredible organizer whose work helped get the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Acts passed.
That isn't a "facade". They're real policy and that is his legacy. His words don't take on mythical status without those significant accomplishments.
Not only is this article poorly-written and hard to parse with pointless sentences like "We are all legislators in the parliament of consciousness", the author's entire premise is wrong.
I hope people don't actually think this way. Activists, organizers, and politicians aren't just Jungian symbols or "cultural vibes".
The policies they fight for, organize around, and enact actually cause things to happen -- for better or worse.
