It's Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, here in the United States, and you know what that means! Time for a bunch of people who would have called him the n-word with the hard R, or at the very least tone policed his rhetoric & tactics and fully disagreed with his stance on capital and militarism while he was alive to paint an erroneous mythology about who he was and what he stood for now that he's dead! 😃

So here's Letter From Birmingham Jail:

It's no longer the Reverend Dr.'s birthday, but you can still read and think about the man's actual words and deeds rather than some made up and defanged version you've been sold for decades. You can always still do that.

Here is a link to the text for those who would rather read it:
