In The Sopranos, there is a scene in which a Polish couple studies together for their American citizenship test. “Who wrote the ‘Star Spangled Banner’?” asks the wife. “Martin Luther King” says the husband. Later, she asks, “What holiday was first celebrated by the American colonists?” “Martin Luther King,” he responds.
The humorous scene captures a vital truth: Martin Luther King, Jr. is the founding father of modern America. He and Jesus Christ alone share the distinction of federal holidays on their birthdays. The two correct answers in the Sopranos scene—Francis Scott Key and Thanksgiving—are controversial. Key’s statue was vandalized in Baltimore because many people think the national anthem is “racist.” Every Thanksgiving, academics and journalists heap scorn on football and the white settlement of North America.
