I'm almost 69, white, & grew up in a white area. I remember fine & well how the adults talked about MLK during his life & the early years after his murder. The praise for him didn't come until it became a convenient tool to use.
I lived through those times, and yes..... King was hated by many. Unless you read his words, then you understood. MSM was not kind to him, justice dept was not kind to him.
I was fortunate, a few black friends introduced me to his ideology. It spoke to my soul and still does.
True. Your father was hated for the wrong reasons. He shouldn't have been hated on at all. The Republicans and their Administration are hated for the right reasons and they should very well be hated on.

I pray more people loved this man more than those who hated him.

Rest in Peace Martin King.
