Trump, others dismantling legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., San Antonio MLK speaker warns
The message of Martin Luther King Jr. is vital as ever, even though President Donald Trump's reelection shows an alarming public hostility to it, said Rev. Dr. Kenneth R. Kemp, who will give Trinity University's annual MLK Lecture this Thursday. "The substance of my discussion ... is to consider what Dr. King and the people of his generation advocated for at that time, and how it's being systematically and intentionally chipped away and reversed," Kemp told the Current. "I am absolutely certain that had Dr. King lived to be 96 — which is the age he would've been on Jan. 15 — he would be absolutely appalled.
