Today in the United States is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. While establishment figures now try to claim King as their own, when he was alive he was deeply unpopular amongst white people and the rich and powerful.
Fuelled by negative media coverage, only 22% of Americans approved of Freedom rides for the desegregation of public transport, and 63% disapproved of King.
The FBI’s domestic intelligence chief called him “the most dangerous Negro of the future in this Nation from the standpoint of communism, the Negro and national security”, and later sent King an anonymous letter attempting to blackmail him into suicide.
Later, politicians like Chuck Grassley and John McCain opposed the creation of his holiday. Even middle class liberals became upset with him as he became increasingly radical: calling himself a socialist, criticising colonialism, imperialism, the Vietnam war and capitalism and launching a multiracial Poor People’s Campaign, before his life was tragically cut short by a white supremacist as he supported striking sanitation workers.
We have made available in our online store this definitive account of his assassination: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/products/an-act-of-state-the-execution-of-martin-luther-king-william-f-pepperhttps://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1329524583899355/?type=3
Egito - A expectativa é grande para a abertura do maior museu da antiga civilização egípcia com seus cinquenta mil metros quadrados. Ele será inaugurado em 2020 no Cairo e vai expor mais de 50.000 artefatos. Uma enorme estátua do legendário Faraó Ramsés II recepcionara os visitantes na entrada do museu. A mobília funerária de Tutankamon descoberta em 1922 por Howard Carter será exposta inteiramente com suas 5.400 obras de arte. Fotos desse novo museu.
