and the white government was trying to destroy him in the late 50's to early 60's, why wasn't it splashed on the front pages then?
LBJ wasn't trying to destroy him. LBJ needed him for the passage of the 1964 civil rights act.

just that he was human and had faults like we all do.
Like we all do? You beat on white prostitutes, dodge the draft, are a drunkard, etc?
You are correct that we all have faults, but many people seem to let those pass for MLK yet would crucify any white leader with the same faults. He was a PoS for the most part but stating that would put a dent in what he stood for so people just choose to sweep it under the rug.

To carry the HUGE black contingent in Congress? lol
Not sure why you have a huge hard on against him..but tired of arguing. The man was working for equality which DID NOT exist...but you probably think that is BS too.
He was not lily white (intended) and obviously a huge hypocrite. But if we waited for someone who had nothing to hide before anything got done....
If the problem is we have a 'day' recognizing him then I agree with you...But then I think we should combine a lot of the Federal days and let each person celebrate whomever they choose....Be it MLK, James Earl Ray, your Pop (hope he is doing ok), Chicken, T. Roosevelt or Geo. Washington or Geo. Washington Carver.
Get rid of Labor Day, Vet. Day, Mem. Day, NYD etc. Leave Independence Day, Easter, T-giving, and Christmas..because we are all Christian and those are our holidays
Enough from me.
