The government will remove the paraphrased quotation “I was a drum major for justice, peace and righteousness” from Washington’s Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial after many complained the out-of-context words made the civil rights leader sound arrogant. What do you think?
“This would never have happened to a statue of a white guy.”
Marybeth McMurry • Rattan Worker
“If King didn’t want his words to be taken out of context, he never should have said them in the first place.”
Ryan Charbonneau • Waterproofer
“If nobody wants to take credit for the old quote, you can feel free to attribute it to me.”
Clayton Wynands • Crab Steamer
