Facts. Dr. King was beaten, stabbed, thrown in jail, had his family's house bombed, and TPTB tried to extort him. His chraracter was tarnished, he was slandered in the press, and some of the very people who he was fighting for called him a sellout; meanwhile, he had both the FBI and the CIA on his heels. Ultimately, he was murdered because he refused to compromise his beliefs and principles. I can't even imagine how it must've felt for Dr. King to carry that kind of weight and STILL keep fighting for Black people.
