Our Well-Read Red, Patricia Kullberg, reads excerpts from an article by Michael Harriot in which he argues that the real Martin Luther King Jr. made White people uncomfortable and intended to do so. And if MLK were not white-washed, White folks wouldn’t like him today. The article is titled “MLK is Revered Today but the Real King Would Make White People Uncomfortable” and was published in The Guardian on January 17, 2022. Michael Harriot is a journalist and the author of the book: Black AF History: the Un-Whitewashed Story of America.
