    His name was Michael

    He was under suspicion for having commie links

    His work and speeches were heavily plagiarised

    He was a drunk

    he embezzled funds

    he paid for prostitutes

    BUT he served the purpose of 'mixing' america and turned people away from the Nation of Islam and Black Panthers, so his indiscretions were over looked

    By the way these 'allegations' are supported by his close friends and other sources

    so hero or villain?

    His actions and legacy are a force for good.

    I was under the impression that he was 'selected' by the Human Rights Movement after the Rosa Parks incident because of his clean image?

    Who cares what his name was?

    Anyone remotely liberal was accused of having commie links.

    Shakespeare also borrowed heavily from other sources

    Churchill was a drunk. Many of the best people are.

    There's no proof that he embezzled funds or paid for brasses.

    He was a man of courage and conviction, but he was a human being, therefore flawed like all of us. His actions helped changed America for the better.

    Archer's Road - King was a Communist. He wasn't just accused of it, the man was red to the core. <ok>

    What's the big deal about being a communist? It seems that most people in the US would rather contract leprosy than be labeled a communist.

    You'd have to define communist. I doubt he was a card carrying member of the CP, being a devout Christian. He may have been well to the left of the US political spectrum, but I'm betting he wasn't a Soviet sympathiser.

    A Communist in American terms is anyone who's to the left of Maggie Thatcher and doesn't believe God is American.

    Probably a hero to a lot of people. I remember reading a thing about the Feds wiretapping him and being disgusted at how he got on. J Edgar hated him with a passion.

    He means **** all to me so neither hero or villain.

    This is surely a good thing.

    He may mean nothing to you but how the **** anyone can seriously say he wasn't a peaceful, moderate positive influence on the world is beyond me.

    It amazes me how much people will 'buy in' to something.

    The media and government propagand has done a proper number on some of you guys

    MLKJ was a scumbag and was a source for stopping the pace at which the civil rights movement was going and where it was going

    the man was a woman beating thief
