Make no mistake about it. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is a Hero of freedom. He is a Hero of justice and equality. He is Hero of peace. He is a Hero against racism, discrimination, hatred, and oppression. It is a cruel act for someone to hijack Dr. Kingâ€™s legacy for purposes that run counter to everything King stood for. It is unethical, immoral, and deceptive.
