This is a conversation dissecting one aspect of the MLK narrative that we need to be willing to properly analyze. Who was MLK? Is he an American hero to be celebrated? Does he value what you value?

Who was he as a black American? Did he fight for values of black Americans? Who was he as a 'Christian'? Was he even a biblical Christian? This conversation gets pushed to the back of the bus (pun intended) far too often and it doesn't force us to confront a very, prolific name in American history. Even more - because of our silence, the tradition of his conjecture, oration and false theology continues to entrap many Americans in the most dangerous snare ever.
