I was talking with Pop on MLK Day…

My father knew Martin Luther King, Jr., at least to speak to.
They weren’t friends, just acquaintances really; Pop was friends with his brother Alfred (AD), who was closer to his age. But they had all attended Morehouse college, and MLK would periodically return for various events after graduation.

I asked Pop what he imagined MLK would have to say about MAGA.
He replied, "I believe he’d be very disappointed that we let this clown get into the White House, not once but twice…did Martin overestimate the American people ?

I don’t think he could’ve guessed that the country would be going through this again." 🥺

That's something! That was a long time ago - and a lot has changed...you can't expect one man to change everything - he did help set in motion quite a lot of civil rights initiatives which still exist...the pendulum does swing though...
@fun4us2b True. But now one man seems ready to misrepresent what happened back then and why things had to change, and he seems determined to reverse those gains. And plenty of our countrymen seem willing to assist him. 😞
