If they want to celebrate a black man, what about George Washington Carver, or Booker T Washington.
I much prefer Elijah McCoy.
Booker T Washington!
Yes!
A pity he didn’t live longer. The mans message of self reliance, education and hard work were the exact opposite of the grievance culture of today.
G W Carver did more to help poor farmers than anyone then or since.
Either of those men deserve recognition much more than the socialist King.
