I was 18 when the Doctor, was murdered. I remember him and the “I had dream” speech, very well! Dr. King was a real man among men. For does the thug wannbe compare?
Why honor young Mr. Martin instead of the 14 shot in Miami or those murdered in Chicago?
King was no apparently no angel, but he was no race-baiter; no “black leader” since his death has had as much “white” support, because his demands were reasonable - he didn’t want them to become dependent pets of Dem politicians, but rather grown-up Americans. He was supporting workers on strike, while today’s “black leaders” support people who haven’t had a W-2 issued to their family in generations.
I’m sure back in his day (I was born after he was killed) it was much easier for blacks to hold their heads up; what so many of them have been reduced to at this point is a damned shame.
