MLK is worthy of a holiday to contemplate what he was talking about & too for all time.
He was an American who spoke to those fundamental truths that make up the spirit of America.

As to his flaws as a man. Welcome to the human race.
No one is perfect in this physical form. The only one who came close was Jesus & yet he still died.
Luckily there was a disappearance.....
For the rest of us we can do works greater as Jesus proclaimed when we follow his way as a man like MLK. A preacher of the gospel in the best sense, regardless of our flaws because they were forgiven already were they not? & there was NO compromise in MLK's word because it was in alignment with Christ.
Thank you for these comments. Anyone can think what they want about me and what I think...but MLK holds a very special place in my heart, his writing and message has always hit a very emotional chord for me. His speeches are like the word of Christ embodied; MLK truly loved every man and woman on Earth. I don't like when his memory is manipulated or tarnished by anyone of any race.
