history question
- I was having a discussion with two students in my regular American history class who posted about MLK.

But he was attacked mercilessly at the time NOT just by deplorable racists but many of the same (types of) people who revere him today. Why?
Read this article by the famous scholar Cornel West on King’s legacy and give us a paragraph response to this question. Cornel West on MLK. (Links to an external site.)
