Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Here's how newspapers portrayed him at the time. If you see a fellow white person sneering at #BLM, know that they'd have said the same about MLK.

@SallyStrange The Birmingham, Alabama newspaper wasn’t too far from the popular perception of the civil rights movement at the time, from what I’ve heard.
@Bioalchemy13 The cartoonist was solidly moderate, perhaps a touch progressive ~for white people of the time~
