Commemorating a solemn anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, there are quite a few clips and quotes that have been aired on TV, radio and floating through social media.

This particular clip from an interview, however, caught my eye because of all the clips shown over and over, it is highly unlikely that this one has been seen by most people, yet it is so key as it speaks to a lot of the criticisms and lack of understanding for the plight of Blacks in the U.S. and why this plight is so unique from that of others. Truly food for thought.

 

 

Wow, I’ve seen/heard a lot of MLK footage but this is the first time I’ve seen this interview. How profound this is. pic.twitter.com/Lm8SR2z3bT

I've looked at this thread multiple times and still can't find words...MLK has probably been spinning in his grave non stop for quite a few years now!  

The co-opting of his legacy by conservatives and the right-wing is especially abhorrent.
