1. Did you know that Republicans have purposely used MLK Day to distort the reality of MLK's legacy since the inception of the national holiday in 1983?
It started with Reagan.

For some amazement about the Republican's footdragging re MLK day, check out its history in my state of Arizona. Then-Governor Ev Mecham cancelled it as a holiday in 1987, and it stayed that way until 1992 when the NFL threatened to pull the Superbowl. 🙄
