Ep 16: SDC MLK

GOP lawmaker Kevin McCarthy tweeted: “Critical race theory goes against everything Martin Luther King Jr. has taught us.” In Florida’s STOP WOKE ACT in 2021, schools and businesses are prohibited from discussing race and racism in a way that white people don’t like. Billionaire Bill Ackman was leading the charge to have Claudine Gay ousted as the President of Harvard University saying: that DEI initiatives are racist & that he is worried about reverse racism. In response, MLK’s daughter has weighed in on some lawmaker’s OPINIONS that project their own ideas and beliefs saying that her dad’s words are consistently misconstrued. She tweeted: “My father’s dream and work included eradicating racism, not ignoring it” After researching the topic of the historic holiday of Martin Luther King’s birth, I could not find any evidence of any actual celebration or an act of homage by white people SOLEY. Articles were written, opinions on podcasts given, etc., but nothing substantial from a group of whites in celebration of him. This week is all about white people’s contribution OR Lack thereof as it relates to this holiday & our thoughts on the topic.
