Know Your History.
An FBI document dated March 4, 1968 (exactly one month before King was assassinated), gave this directive:
“Prevent the rise of a `messiah’ who could unify, and electrify, the militant Black nationalist movement. Malcolm X might have been such a `messiah’, he is the martyr of the movement today. (King could) be a real contender for this position should he abandon his supposed `obedience’ to White liberal doctrines”…

Sadly, Dr. King did rise to that position that the US government so deeply feared and mostly likely had him killed. Today we remember one of the most incredible men in history.

Even though tomorrow the United States will have its first president that isn’t an old white man, we still fail to recognize the women who have shaped history. Why is that?
