Growing up in the South I don’t remember much discussion about Martin Luther King Jr.’s accomplishments in the classroom. I graduated in 1996 in a small town in southern Arkansas where until 2017 they celebrated Robert E. Lee Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day at the same time, allowing you to choose between a traitorous loser and one of the most influential leaders of the modern Civil Rights movement. Amazing what we used to find acceptable.
