I’ve always been curious - having viewed the actions of those that surrounded MLK - if he had lived, would MLK have been a guidepost to keep his followers on track, or would he have been corrupted like they were?

Would MLK have been corrupted?

You’re kidding, right?

That's a good question. And I don't know what to make of MLK's character. Most of the dirt we know about him came from the Dim-run DOJ (RFK) and its FBI (J Edgar Hoover) that was against MLK. So I hate to take their word on MLK's misdeeds.

I’ve wonder something similar about Lincoln. Had Lincoln lived how would history view him, considering the fights he would have had and possibly lost with Congress over the ‘readmission’ of Confederate States (he held they really didn’t leave the Union) and Reconstruction.

In any case Lincoln’s surviving relatives didn’t not copyright his images/speeches etc.
