"They keep saying King was for everyone. I keep telling people, 'No, King wasn't for everyone. King was for fairness and justice,'" said Gilbert Young, a black painter from Atlanta who has started a Web site and a petition drive to try to change the project.

What does "fairness and justice" mean? Does it have something to do with being "judged by the color of their skin," or something?

I would think that ‘fairness and justice’ would result in the most qualified candidate being given the commission, regardless of skin color. No doubt Mr. Young would agree with that, provided the most qualified candidate also happened to be black.
