MLK was a human being and like all of us had flaws.
His most important contribution was the principle of judging people
by the content of their character not the color of their skin.
If that notion can be inculcated into the culture and into the human psyche,
it will more than make up for any flaws he might have had.
The civil rights movement today, with few exceptions, has turned its back on MLK’s ideas.
