“OK, let me refrase that; ““King will be historically remembered as the man who helped lead the way to end racismn by law in the sixties””
Again, you are incorrect.
The attempts to “end racism by law in the sixties” (to wit, the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act) ended nothing, and instead created an entire new class of “privileged individuals” by enshrining reverse discrimination as a matter of public policy.
Hint: “racism” (a word which was originally coined by the marxist/socialists as a tool to be used against the established order) is as naturally-occurring a condition as is sunlight. There is an inherent preference amongst humans to be with others like themselves, and an inherent distrust of others unlike themselves. It is something that is simply “there”, and cannot be erased with words on paper. If that was the case, why does “hate” still exist, in the wake of the deluge of “hate-crime” laws we have today?

First, the Civil Rights Acts - which began in 1957, and by Conservative Republicans that get no credit for it - did work to help end discrimination in law. Second, although you are correct that the laws were used as a tool for reverse discrimination; it was because of interpretation of the laws by "civil rights" lawyers that had a socialists agenda. Many of these laws, and "hate crime laws" if not all, have been used against minority criminals too. That's not to say I think "hate crime laws are good. On the contrary; they are redundant, and idiotic. Have you ever heard of someone doing a crime with love?
