    I hate how people always bring up MLK’s domestic abuse record.

    This is a corporatization and commercialization of Dr. King’s legacy, an annual corporate commodification of a historical paragon of social justice and equality, racial and economic. Without doubt, Dr. King was a towering figure in the civil rights movement, but go read what Dr. King said and wrote about the military industrial complex and capitalism. Go read what he said about establishing a new economic system that distributes wealth more equally to all of God’s children. Dr. King was assassinated in Memphis, and he was there advocating for improved working conditions for Memphis’s sanitation workers, but corporations like TNT, which is owned by AT&T, and others do a gross disservice to Dr. King’s legacy. Dr. King sought to take capitalism out behind the shed and put it out of its misery, as you bemoan the superficiality of streets that bear his name that are not as upscale as they should be. That is an argument that grows out of artificial symbolism and not radical, revolutionary change. Every impoverished community, regardless of street names, in a country as wealthy as the “United” States, should have better resources, including clean water, food, and health care, and homes that are affordable. Dr. King said that the three evils of society are racism, war, and poverty. Capitalism undergirds all of those evils in one way or countless others. Your parent company (AT&T) rakes in billions of dollars every year and y’all have earned and continue to earn comfortable incomes. Use your platform to speak truth to power, gentlemen, as Dr. King did selflessly. The only ones whom y’all benefit in presentations such as this are corporate executives. Be the change.

    MLK would not support the Black community of the left., because of many reasons. One, I think he would be against abortion.

    MLK plagiarized a bunch of his essays in college. The board was about to revoke his title of Dr., but decided against it. Also he was a communist. Big phony right here

    One Love. Respect. Let the words of James Baldwin carry the day,

    One other point, the next time someone says the words, “it happened a long, long time ago”, tell them to take a moment and search youtube for the audio recorded interviews with former slaves. Yes, such recordings exist on Youtube. None of this is “ancient” history, you don’t have to read about it in a book, you can hear the voices.

      Because he was to radical, to much of a revolutionary for the general public.

    I am a 19 year old asian dude. When i was in elementary school in grade 6, my teacher showed us MLKs famous speech. From that point on, he made me open up my eyes and my mind to the world. I developed a respect not for just black people but for all races. He made me see everyone as equal and everyone deserves rights. Show your kids about MLK and his message guys. Racism can be ended from birth.

    I bet y’all hunkies did thought it was a good idea to put Martin Luther King Street cuz you rather have him gone then have him here in physical form fighting for reparation or getting tangibles for black peoplegering Martin Luther King a street or holiday or museum is nothing more than a symbolic victory it doesn’t change any laws it doesn’t give black people economic empowerment
