Today is his actual birthday. In 1983 President Regan signed a bill that named the third Monday in January as the holiday observance “Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday.
I like this quite of his- “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
Don't forget he surrounded himself with communists.
He was almost a dry run for the Marxist idea that race should replace class in American Marxism.
