Whitewashing 101: How To Rewrite Black History

"It's Black History Month, so it's about time we talked about the recuperation of Black radicals like Dr. King and Nelson Mandela. Everyone and their mother likes to claim MLK as their own, and use his words as a rhetorical weapon, but what did he actually believe? This one could have been so much longer, but I guess that just leaves room for a part two in the future. Hope you enjoy!" - Second Thought
