Martin Luther King, Civil Rights Icon and Drunken Libertine

Whenever hearing the name Martin Luther King Jr. four other words will immediately pop into one’s head: “I have a dream”. Possibly the most famous phrase from any speech ever held…

I’m an MLK scholar – and I’ll never be able to view King in the same light

Donald Trump has become the first U.S. president since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established to not issue a proclamation honoring the federal holiday, breaking a tradition observed for nearly 40 consecutive years.

At the time of publication, there is no Martin Luther King Jr. Day proclamation from Trump posted on the White House’s official website, its social media accounts, or in the Federal Register. These proclamations are usually signed days in advance of a holiday and even if Trump signed one late, his administration isn’t making the proclamation public in a timely manner. Therefore, for all intents and purposes, Trump is skipping the presidential emphasis on the MLK holiday.

The absence marks a sharp departure not only from presidential precedent dating back to Ronald Reagan, but from Trump’s own first term, during which he issued MLK Day proclamations every year from 2018 through 2021.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan in 1983 and first observed as a federal holiday in 1986. In his 1986 proclamation, Reagan said, “Dr. King's activism was rooted in the true patriotism that cherishes America's ideals and strives to narrow the gap between those ideals and reality.”

4th of July is a positive celebration, which is also celebrated by black people.

We were slaves on the 4th of July, what is that for us to celebrate?

And right there, you demonstrate why MLK is a failure.
