Keep Dr. King’s Name Out of Your Mouth

We have reached that time in the year where it is time to commemorate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. True to form, every year some well- meaning white person posts, a feel-good quote about love and peace to illustrate how much they honor Dr. King and/or to prove how woke they are, or how much of an ally they are to Black culture.
