Martin Luther King, Jr. was not Santa Claus

There's more to the man than just one speech

The “I Have a Dream” speech has been turned into the “Freebird” of history. And as we do every year, we’ll hear parts of it. Teary eyed newscasters will wistfully look into the camera, white washing the trailblazing that was MLK. Many more will say, “There. You got this and Obama, now piss off.”

There was way more to the man, or they wouldn’t have shot him. And yes, it was a “they.”
