Yes!!! We have to teach this generation our history indeed because those who are sinister minded; want to re-write our history and flip the script to make it more palatable instead of honestly acknowledging what took place is overtly and covertly happening. Prime example is The Huck Fin novel changing the word "nigger" to "slave," let's keep it 100--no need to sugar-coat what it really was! Furthermore, you'll never see history re-written in regards to the dreadful atrocities of the Holocaust that occurred. That's why we have to continue to tell our story--the whole story.
Dr. King for me means so much more than what they taught me in school as youth "I Have A Dream," no doubt was an all time great speech but MLK was way more heavier than that! They never talk about why he was vehemently hated by those in government circles especially the like of Mr. Hoover. He was hated on even more towards the end of his life than in the beginning when the conversation was just about being able eat a burger in a restaurant. When his conversation became more about the human rights of poor, marginalized and oppressed people all over the world. He became a big threat to the establishment and that is why he was killed. Dr. King's legacy will forever live and we must continue to tell the whole story or else we will be doomed!
