My black history education focused heavily on the the economic equality issues that POC were working on in the 1950s and '60s, i.e., no one even remembers that MLK was killed while Memphis to march with striking BLACK janitors, WHO WERE STRIKING BECAUSE UNION NEGOTIATED RULES RESULTED IN BLACK WORKERS GETTING KILLED AND PREVENTED THE BLACK SANITATION WORKERS FOR COMPETING FOR THE BETTER PAYING DRIVING JOBS THAT WERE RESERVED FOR THE FEW WHITE UNION MEMBERS.

What you are presenting is a revisionist interpretation of Dr. King's legacy.

I especially appreciate the link to The Black Agenda page so I can explore that news resource more fully.

Before accepting the BAR as a reference source ... you might want to poke around a bit, and: 1) judge what Black people think of Ford and his site (generally, not well respected); and, 2) see who his primary base of support is (i.e., white liberals ... that typically use his writings as a foil to something a more widely accepted (among Black folks) Black commentator has written/said.)

ETA: Ask the person you are responding to, shaayecanaan, ... to racially identify.
