I'm certain his motives and needs were only of the highest order while everyone else’s were those of the bigot and racist.
While King said, “I Have a Dream”, and THE King sang, “Follow That Dream”, Detroit's ambulatory residents just want the nightmare to end and so they leave.

One topic I have not seen (perhaps I missed it?) is the effects of attempts at so-called “urban renewal”.
Tearing down the housing of the poor got rid of the housing but not the poor and in addition destroyed the neighborhoods and their ability to provide for themselves.
No wonder upper income whites and black fled the creeping invasion of the Armies of the Poor.
America has always had a bias against living amongst the poor, a truly colorless class.

Shouldn’t Detroit be a paradise, now that the racist whites are gone? /half sarc

(Like the Ft Hood Killer, James Earl Ray was just stressed when he killed MLK Jr.)
