Reclaiming King's Legacy

This chapter explores the co-opting of Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy by various social justice movements and examines the connections between these movements and the civil rights struggle. It critiques the binary racial narratives that obscure the complexities of oppression faced by marginalized communities, including Native Americans. The discussion also addresses how the romanticization of the civil rights movement overshadows other important movements and raises questions about the true realization of King's dream in contemporary society.
