Fair enough. But I would rather be concerned with the many people who vilify him, particularly black people--I don't mean white racists, but the people who have most benefited from his work--rather than those who supposedly "deify" him. Bob Woodson broke with our current crop of BLM style race warriors with their "f*ck MLK" attitude. The Woodson Center is doing far more good than BLM. They've totally abandoned King's principles and profit from the racial strife they help create and their views have become the dominant ones today. George Floyd is their deity. I don't see how a high view of King hurts his legacy even if it's excessive. On the the other hand ... emphasizing personal character flaws that matter very little doesn't really help and only adds weight to those who thoughtlessly reject his principles.
