Dr. King wasn't, but that's how the white people let you remember him. A lot of the behind the scenes dirty work was done by Walker though.

There were numerous people behind the scenes doing the dirty work fam. Hosea Williams, Ralph David Abernathy, Walker, John Lewis, Bayard Rustin, James Bevel, Ella Baker, Fannie Lou Hamer, Fred Shuttlesworth, Andrew Young.....

The list goes on.

There's a reason Dr. King Day is used to ignore rampit (sp) poverty and modern day slavery; they pick and choose aspects of King philosophy and pretend we've cured racism.

Ferguson was looking like Alabama in the 60's last year.

Oh, and they love to act like Dr. King was on his #alllivesmatter, like he didn't fight for black folk.

I don't even feel like looking up quotes.

King was just the face of the movement but theres a lot of names people don't give credit to

Yeah this thread was just to try to show love to someone else in the movement. My OP came off a little negatory toward King, didn't mean to do that. I was just reading about Wyatt the other day and wanted to show him the love he deserves on a day that is all about Civil rights. While we're on the subject, why doesn't anyone ever bring up that the US Govt was found guilty of murdering king :wtb:

It doesn't even take a genius to figure out the government killed him too. But I think if that was common knowledge it would change the whole narrative and they wouldn't be able to control his legacy the way they do

There's a reason the white man loves him and why there is a holiday in his honor.

Wyatt Tee Walker on the other hand.. that was a man that inspired change, trolled the white man and outed the evils, hypocrisy and injustices of White America.

MLK Jr's right hand man. He used to call in anonymous tips to the police about a black person being in a certain part of town and send them on wild goose chases while Dr. King spoke without being harassed. He convinced children from schools to join in the protests, thus showing the evils of the white police and mayor's as they forced fireman to "turn the hoses on those children or lose your jobs" and sent children to jail.


You'll never see a day in this man's honor. You'll never see the white man celebrating Wyatt Tee Talker, but he is every bit as responsible for the Civil Rights Movement as MLK Jr.. So on this day, MLK Jr. Day, lettuce remember what Rev. Walker did alongside Dr. King.

The white man selectively cherry picks MLK's speeches and vision. Do your own research and stop buying their narrative.

Wyatt T Walker was a great man as was many in the movement. The holiday is not just about King tho, its symbolic of the struggle in which he was a key figure.

Keep in mind the white man didn't "Give" us that day. A collective of black folks was fighting and demonstrating for that holiday for decades.

Nothing but the truth
