As Black History Month comes to a close, there are some things that still need to be taught to many Americans.
Many whites, but there are also members of every race, including us black folks, who have repeated a manufactured version of King that was not who he really was. MLK was one of the great American revolutionaries. Perhaps the greatest. And I mean greater than the so-called founders. King led a movement that overthew facism without using the military. And if you don't think Jim Crow was fascism, think again.
Americans on the right love to bring up his philosophy of nonviolence when blacks start speaking in harsh tones. King did advocate nonviolence, but he did not support shut up and take it. His nonviolence plan was about direct action and confrontation.
