I know it’s going to sound crazy but you have to wonder, what would have been his legacy if had not been assassinated?

For example, all this stuff would have eventually come out and he, as a minister and as a person who’s looked up to as a moral example, would have to answer for them.

What I mean is I would like history to remember the good MLK did and what he stood for.

Agreed. Don’t sully the dead. A man doesn’t need to be a saint to have done good in life.

When is a thought ever truly original?
