In celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr Day, I will use this opportunity to pointedly remind us that Dr. King was a radical whose legacy has been sanitized and whitewashed. Many who profess to love him today, calling him "an inspiration!" are likely to have been among the 75% of Americans who deemed him "dangerous" in 1968.
