Civic Cipher - The Whitewashing of Martin Luther King by Conservatives / How Did MLK Feel About Today’s Political Issues
Update: 2025-01-16
Description
In the first half of today’s episode, we discuss the intentional whitewashing of the politics and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King by the Raegan administration to gain a broader appeal to middle America. We also discuss how Dr. King’s image is used and his words are cherry-picked by far-right conservatives to provide a veneer of decency where there often is deep-seated bigotry, fear, and division.
In the second half of the show, we discuss what MLK’s thoughts would be on hot-button issues of today based on his actual words. We discuss what his views would be on equity vs equality, the teaching of CRT/American history, and Affirmative Action.
Our Way Black History Fact is Dr. King’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail.
